Leaving work, I’m walking by a large banner advertising an exhibition at an art museum. A homeless woman with a shopping cart full of plastic bottles and cans stops me. While I naturally assumed she would ask me for money she instead asked me what the exhibition was about. Quite surprised, I tried to explain. 

Homeless Lady: Is it good?

Me: Sure.

HL: Is it free?

M: No. It’s $15.

HL: Oh. Can I have $15 to go see it?

I smiled and gave her the change in my pocket. 

Well played Homeless Lady, well played.
