A dialogue, of sorts

After buying two £1 scratchcards with a £5 note I found randomly on the ground in Tesco and purloined with a feeling of guilt and trepidation.

Me: I always find it quite decadent to scratch a scratchcard with a £2 coin.

Her: Or even a £1 coin.

Me: But then I worry that I'm tempting fate.

Her: The universe won't let you win because you're scratching with a £2 coin.

Me: No! You do not deserve a million! You have money!

Her: So really you should scratch with a penny.

Me: Or a button.

Her: Or just use a fingernail.

For the record,  I scratched with a £2 coin and won nothing. She scratched with a £1 coin and won...£1. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
