she was just learning

last night, i delivered to a lady who i'd say was in her mid to late forties. it took her a little bit to count the money to me. she told me she was just learning how to count money. i thought it was great that she was learing something and trying to use it in real life. i was very patient with her. she didn't have any change, handing me only dollar bills. she was due sixty-some odd cents in change and i asked if she'd like it. she did and i counted back the change to her. she appeared proud that she had gotten to put her new knowledge into action. i was really happy for her. it was a very cool transaction.

i think it's great that this woman was trying to learn how to count money. she also mentioned that she was learning to read as well. i hope to deliver to her in the future and talk with her about how things are going.

cheers!
