Last of the dinosaurs

The guy who washes my windows dropped by for payment today. If he doesn't catch me at home, the tally goes up for the next month. Now I knew I was behind months and months (apparently he always drops by when I'm not there).
But today I was.
'I'm late, aren't I?'
"Yes, you have to pay for 6 months".
Me: 'that can't be right, it has to be at least 10, probably more'.

Turns out he lost his cards and had to start counting again. I paid him for 10 months because I'm sure I owed him at least that.
Apparently I was only the second person of all the people he dropped by for payment, who said anything and offered to pay more.... and he doesn't charge much at all!

How cool that he lets it go for months without payment! And very cool for you to pay what you owe, instead of what he had records for. You rock!

That's how mom taught me... I'm actually feeling a little guilty because it was probably even more than 10 months I was behind.

But then he appreciated the gesture, so all is well, I guess.
