Standing in line the other day, I heard the distinctive sound of change hitting the floor behind me. I turn around and see a lady trying to pick up a few coins that had fallen out of her pocket. Seeing a dime under the end of the cart near me, I leaned down to pick it up. I happened to look up as I bent down and saw her face go from calm to cat-butt as she sees me reaching for the dime. With a smile I picked it up and handed it back to her.
Me: You thought I was going to keep it, didn't you? {says I in a friendly way}
For just a moment she stares at the dime with that sour look and I'm wondering if I'm about to get chewed out. Suddenly, her face clears and she grins at me.
Lady: Yeah {says she sheepishly} That would have been pretty stupid over a dime, wouldn't it?
We both chuckle and move on our merry way. Happy Holidays!
