Helping Grandpa

I was working on a Natural Gas pipe in the kitchen when my two granddaughters
came up to see what was going on. The Three year old sat in my lap and her four
year old sister sat on the floor across from us. They marveled as I gave a fine turn
on the gas valve with a large pipe wrench.

As I opened the valve, I explained to the girls “I needed to purge the gas line of any
air”. They squinted and shyed away from the noise and blast as the gas blew past us.

Grandma looked over the counter and asked “Are you girls helping Grandpa?”

After a course of “yes” the three year old explained ”Grandpa pulled on the pipe and
now it stinks. It smells just like Grandpa when you pull his finger.”
