The Plumber and the Pediatrician

Today I had similar conversations on different topics.

The plumber told me we needed a pressure regulator.  Only $269.  He also told me we wouldn't be able to sell the house without one because "the code changed three months ago."  I asked him why the guy from his company that fixed the shower six months ago hadn't said anything about a pressure regulator.

He didn't have an answer for that.

The Benovelent Pediatrican called shortly after he left me with a working shower and full use of my toilet and sinks.

BP:  "I'm calling to see how you and the little angel are doing."

Me:  "Yeah, I sort of had a breakdown on your nurse the other day."

BP:  "Yes, she brings that out in people."

We talked about whether or not the little angel's night wakings are caused by anything physical.  She did not think it is due to food intolerance or allergy.  She thought the little angel probably needs a pressure regulator.

I would pay any amount of money for one.  I asked her where I could fine one.

She didn't have an answer for that.
