1). Everyone knows about Santa who fills a stocking with gifts for you, right? I don’t ever remember believing in Santa but for many years I believed that my parents were standing there by my bed literally stuffing the stocking with gifts while I slept. It needed pointing out that they had another stocking ready filled which they just swapped.
Subsequent investigation proved that not all parents realise this either.
2). The laundry machines in my apartment block require a dollar and three quarters to operate. Right now the bank is shut and I have a lot of quarters in the coin jar but am out of loonies (Canadian dollar coins). I did manage to work out on my own that I could pay the entire price in quarters and the machine would accept it, but it took me a while.
[EDIT: 3). It did need pointing out that the coin jar concept also works quite well for subway tokens.]
