Coincidences

The café was very busy, with hardly an empty seat.

He stood, cup in one hand, sausage roll on a plate in the other. He was gazing around, looking for somewhere to sit. There was a spare seat at a table for two close by. The woman there looked friendly enough. He approached with caution.

“Excuse me,” he said, “it’s very busy in here. Would you mind if I sat here?”

“Not at all,” she said, smiling.

He sat, looking around. “I’ve never seen it this busy,” he said.

She gave a soft laugh, “I know, I actually had to stand and wait, when I arrived. So, we’re both in luck.”

“Yes,” he said, “I’ll drink to that.” He picked his coffee up and took a sip. He put it down and held up his sausage roll. He hesitated, then waving it around, he said, “I don’t often eat these, but I’m celebrating.”

“Well, there you go, there’s a coincidence,” she said, with a big grin. She picked up her piece of cake.” So am I!”

He looked surprised. “What are you celebrating?” he asked, then added, “That’s if you don’t mind, of course.”

She thought about it for a moment. Then, dropping her voice, she said, “I have literally just found out that I am pregnant. We’ve been trying for years. It’s wonderful!”

He smiled and nodded. Picking up his cup, he said, “Congratulations!”

She laughed and picking up her cup, they clinked their cups together.

After a moment or two, she said, “And if you don’t mind me asking, “What are you celebrating?”

Putting down his cup, he said, “Well, I must say, there’s a coincidence. I’ve got a bit of a hobby farm, you see. I breed pigs. Unfortunately my boar has not been performing and the sow has had no piglets for nearly two years, despite being able to produce a litter every six months or so. Today, I found out she’ll be having a litter. That’s my wonderful news.

“Congratulations. How did you manage that?”

“I just put a different boar in with her a few months back.”

“Wow! There’s a coincidence!”

“What do you mean?”

“So did I!”
