At Aldi’s for the usual groceries and needing a quarter for cart rental, I checked the stash of coins in the car’s change dish. Two quarters, both interesting. I decided which I wanted to save, but then it fell from my palm, sat for a moment on my thigh, then dropped between the seats, probably to a spot from which it could never be retrieved.
With the other quarter firmly in hand, I made my way to the cart lane. I inserted the qauarter into the slot, unhooked the chain, and tugged the cart free. Or tried to. It was stuck. I wrestled with it for a time, then gave up, reattached the chain, and reclaimed my coin.
I was about to try the other row of carts when a woman approached, wheeling her empty cart. I held up my quarter with a questioning look. She nodded with a smile. I placed the quarter in her hand, said a few words of thanks, and assumed control of her cart.
Drew was in the yard when I got home from Aldi’s, and he helped me carry in the bags.
“Get anything good?” he asked.
“Everything I get is good,” I told him. “They had those sliced beet you like.”
“What a treat!” he said, more than half serious.
“That reminds me, though...” I said. “When I was returning the cart there was this guy who needed one, and he handed me a quarter. When he placed the quarter in my hand he said, “It’s probably a lucky one, so don’t squander it on needlessly expensive cat treats.”
“Strange,” Drew said.
“It took me a split second to realize he was probably joking. Maybe he reacted to my expression of surprise. He said, “Oh, okay, if the little devil deserves it, go all in.”
After we unpacked the groceries, Drew said, “So, do you still have the lucky quarter, or did you squander it?”
I found the coin in my change purse. Engraved was a picture of Celia Cruz. “You ever heard of her?” Drew asked.
“No. You?”
We looked her up. “Famous Latin American Salsa singer known for ‘Azúcar!’ which means sugar,” Drew read. He got Google to play her. I couldn’t stop myself from dancing.
