Gas Support

Gas Company Dude: “We fixed the gas line. If you want, I can come in and re-light your pilot lights.”

Me: “Yah, better you than me. I don’t know much about that stuff.”

(five minutes later)

GCD: “Your appliances are all self-lighting. You should be fine.”

Me: “Should?

GCD: “Well, if the furnace doesn’t re-light after three tries, you can flip that switch there and wait a couple minutes and then flip it back.”

Me: “So, turn it off and back on again?”

GCD: “I thought you didn’t know furnaces.”

Me: “Apparently, it’s pretty similar to computer support.”

Medical Thing

My Oldest, age 15: “I’m so tired.”

Me: “You’re always tired.”

MO: “It’s a teenager thing. I have too much homework.”

Me: “It could be a medical thing.”

MO: “It’s not a medical thing.”

Me: “Try this… if you put your head down on the table right now, could you go to sleep?”

MO: “No, definitely not. Maybe. Yeah, probably. But it’s NOT medical.”

Me: “You should get tested for sleep apnea. I have a really bad case. It can be hereditary.”

MO: “It’s not medical! I’m just tired!”

Me: “You seem irritable. That’s a symptom.”

MO: “I hate you.”
