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
