Cheap Thrills

Saturday I was at Steve’s News, which really isn’t called that, there was an Old Timer behind me in line. I asked if he were just getting the paper. He said yes. So I told the cashier, “And his paper.” The old timer didn’t hear that. So as I was walking out, I heard the cashier say, “She got it.” I then heard the Old Timer say, in a really cute, high kid-like voice, “Really???” Made my day for 50 cents.
