Today, at the coffee shop, there was a lady in front of me getting a cup of coffee. She turned her purse upside down looking for small change, so that she wouldn’t have to charge her ice cream and coffee on her card.

I heard her mumble about having it in there somewhere, and told her that I had the ten krona she needed.

“I have it here, if you need it,” I said.

“No, no, I’ll just put it on the card,” she replied, and waved her VISA.

“Thanks, anyway,” she said.

“Sure,” I said, and put the coin back into my pocket.

It was probably the “if you need it” that did it.
