Man hid under little girls bed for three months...

It says right there in the quote that he is... just not for long enough. It's quite extraordinary that anyone would go to such lengths, isn't it? There's no way that the time he spent in hiding could have been anything but unpleasant. Perhaps it was better than being homeless, but it still seems extraordinary to me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't think it's fair to blame the kid. I mean, you don't know her situation... neither of us do, but I can imagine a scenario in which this would all seem pretty sweet to her.

Suppose that this homeless dude isn't actually repulsive to look at... suppose that she's the kind of girl who never gets any attention from guys her own age. Suppose that he made her feel special... is she really so stupid for thinking that what they had might have been special?

Don't misunderstand me. From an adult point of view, the answer is clearly yes. From a 12-year-old point of view, is it really so clear-cut? Do they have the kind of life-experience that teaches us that you can't trust things people say when they want to get into your pants? Not always...

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, because you could really expect that to happen a lot... O_o

Seriously though... a lot of divan beds are hollow underneath anyway. It's not like this guy had to hollow it out, all he had to do was make an entrance in the outer shell.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
