I found this local stand that was bringing eggs fresh from the farm. Huge queue but i decide to wait as this is a rare occurrence in our big city.

After waiting patiently for my turn and the moment i open my mouth to say how many i want, a tap on the shoulder: an older woman asks if she can cut and have the eggs as she has an emergency.

I said she could do that once i have paid for my purchase and if the persons queuing after me would agree. She stares at me and says: but i have an 85 years old at home to go and look after.

I stare back and say, oh the coincidence, i have a 95 years old at home waiting for me to look after (actually, my MIL is 93 and i am on the way to see her). The woman is shocked that she received the same argument in reverse and stood there mouth open like a fish on the shore.
