Buying a Scratchie

Hi there

Last week I was in the Paraparaumu Mall and I decided to buy a scratchie.

I pointed out the one I wanted and moved toward the Eftpos machine.  The woman behind the counter muttered something.

Huh?  What was she calling me?

"Cash cow," the woman said.

"Um.  Pardon?"

"Cash cow.  Do you want the scratchie called Cash Cow?"

"Oh."  What a relief. " I thought you were calling me a cash cow,"  I said.

And we both giggled.

After all, it was only a $5 scratchie...
