Two Tickets

I got home today and my mom told me she’d won two World Cup tickets on some game show. The kind of thing you never expect to actually happen to you.

We don’t know which match, or if we’re even keeping them—might just sell them. But there’s something about that kind of random luck. You never expect to win anything, and then suddenly you do. If Japan makes a run, I’m definitely trying to convince her to actually go.
