The most magical true story over a simple mistake:
Yesturday at work a man in his late 60s asked for a movie ticket and a bottle of water. I handed a ticket to him and on he went. 10 mins later the man came back. I apologised and handed him the bottle of water explaining ‘This is the third time I’ve done this today’ but the man looked confused. ‘I haven’t ordered anything yet’ he said. I realised the man was wearing something else and apologised again for confusing him for another customer. As he ordered his ticket, I saw the other man and pointed to the man standing in front of me who I confused him with. He then replied ‘I will hand it to him, you look pretty busy’. I watched as the two men turned to each other only for me to realise they were identical twins. They stood parallel to each other and broke down. At first I thought I had stepped into something horrible and then I thought they were playing a trick of some sort until the two men embraced. Once they had chatted for half an hour they came back to the counter asking if they could see the next movie instead and sit next to one another. As I fumbled around, changing their tickets, I found out they were identical twin brothers that had not seen each other in over 20 years. After a family break up, one of the brothers moved to Melbourne and was cut off from the other brother. With my simple mistake of forgetting the first brother’s water, the second brother’s timing and something magical that I cannot explain. Brothers were reunited. Sometimes Adelaide has the most beautiful moments that not many cities can share.
