The Kindness of Strangers

On Friday evening, I did my normal routine of visiting the LQ for a bottle of wine, and then to the local pizza place for two slices of cheese. Normally, when Michael is home, we have pizza night ever Friday. Since he has left, I don't want to buy a whole pizza because it's a waste of money, so I just stick to my two slices. Two slices is only $4, and on Friday, I realized I didn't have cash with me - no problem, I whipped out my debit card. Unfortunately, which I failed to realize, is that you had to have a $10 minimum on a debit card. As I scrounge around for some change, trying to decide what else I am going to order to make it $10, a person calls out, "I've got her." It took me a minute to realize he was going to pay for mine, and of course I said, no, I would be ok! But he insisted. I later realized it was my sister-in-law's sisters fiances' dad (can you get all that?) I was relieved and have decided that I need to start carrying cash!
