Her grandpa worked on our furnace a while ago, and all he charged was a hug and a chocolate donut.
I was talking to my father the other day and I told him I needed to have my furnace repaired. He told me he would come to the house and take care of the furnace. It had been a long time since he had worked on a furnace. Ever since he took over ownership of the HVAC company, he was stuck in an office. He worked on the furnace for almost an hour, and was just finishing up when my daughter came home from pre-school. My father greeted her at the door and she squealed. She wanted to know where grandma was and he told her he was hear to fix the furnace. When she asked him how much mommy owed, he told her she owed him a hug and chocolate donut. Two months later, I had to have the AC unit serviced before summer. When the HVAC technician arrived, my daughter was home. She asked him what he charged for his work? He said he didn’t set the prices. The HVAC company he worked for told him what he could charge. She told him he worked for the wrong HVAC company. Her grandpa worked on our furnace a while ago, and all he charged was a hug and a chocolate donut. I almost spit my coffee out, when he looked at me. I told him my father owned the HVAC company. When he showed up he asked for a hug and her favorite chocolate donuts. The HVAC technician laughed and told her he would take the chocolate donut, but he didn’t think his wife would appreciate if he got hugs from such beautiful little girls.
