Also, it might eat me
What do you think of this chair? I think I would feel that it was watching me all the time.
A supermarket chain here is running a promotion at the moment, where you get a coupon for every ten dollars you spend. You're supposed to keep these coupons until early November, when you give them to your child's school, which can use them to purchase sporting equipment. I didn't know anything about this, since I don't have a child to have a school wanting sporting equipment. This makes me a precious resource, apparently: I've had three people ask if I would consider giving my coupons to their school. I had to admit that I have been blithely saying to the checkout kids, 'No, I don't want coupons, thanks,' (which they have been happy about, because the coupons are small, shiny things that they have to count out). So I will start collecting them from now.
The thing is, though, two of the people who asked me have children at school here in the City by the Sea; they might not be big schools by metropolitan standards, but they certainly have more resources (and parents to collect vouchers) than the third school, which is a tiny country town school. I think I will give half my coupons to the parent at the small school and a quarter each to the other two who asked. Does that sound fair? (It would depend on the number of coupons, I suppose. If I only have ten of them, they may as well all go to the same person.)
