Perception and Stereotypes on the Bobby Bones Show

Most mornings, the car ride to daycare and the elementary school is filled with The Bobby Bones show. My son loves it, and I enjoy it, too. One morning, Amy shared a story she was embarrassed by. She was in her car, I think it was, and she saw a homeless man and young, professional looking woman. Suddenly, the woman was running back to wear the homeless man was, looking for him. Right away, Amy assumed that the man  must have stolen something from Amy, so when she went to help, she learned that the lady actually had a small card with an area homeless shelter's information. She didn't want the man to stay out in the cold. She made judgments based on stereotypes, but learned that she had perceived the situation wrongly.
