Keep the Change

The scene hinted of a sense of normalcy, a mother and her daughter standing outside of Albertsons with boxes of Girl Scout cookie's piled high atop a folding table.
It was unexpected, in this time of weird expectations.
But there they were, both in masks, hand sanitizer sitting prominently at one corner of the table.
We were so delighted to see them in this familiar location that I doubled the order after David said one box of Lemonades and one of Shortbread please.
The cute young lady miscalculated and wanted to undercharge me, but quickly thought it over and then got it right.
I now wish she hadn't discovered her error just so I could play the cad and tell her to keep the change.
