Hi all,
I thought I'd share with you a cute story that happened here not long ago. As
some of you know, we operate a fairly large pump rental station from our home.
Consequently, we have *breast pumps on the brain*. Some weeks ago the girl
from across the street (she's about 12 years old) came to our door. When I
ansered it, she kindly asked me if she could borrow a pump. I found myself,
for a moment, at a loss for words. She just stood there looking at me and
probably wondering why in the world I wasn't answering her. When finally I was
able to speak, I asked her why she needed a pump. Her innocent reply was that
her bycicle tire was flat and she needed an air pump to pump it up. Of course,
I was certain she was asking for a breast pump and was simply trying to figure
out how I was going to tell her mom.
Regards,
Yaffa
