Electric Toothbrushes and Modern Gas Pumps
One of my favorite “Family Circus” cartoons shows the children in the bathroom in their grandparents’ house, holding a manual toothbrush.
The caption: “Look, Mom! A toothbrush you don’t have to plug in!”
The Kaplan household recently had our own version of that experience, when my 17 year-old son (and now very used car owner) needed to put a few $$$ of gas into his almost-empty tank.
Not being nearby to give him my credit card, I told him to go to the SuperAmerica down the street and put a few bucks in.
His response: “you can pay with cash?!?”
