DPW employee $173

Typically if there is something wrong with your water, you call your city's DPW office and chat with a secretary for a few minutes, who assigns your job to a field worker, and eventually someone shows up and messes around with a fire hydrant outside, comes in your house with a wrench and jiggles a few things then tells you to give it 10 minutes and it should be all set.
Can you see that I've gone through this a few times?
Today I had a more direct line to my disgruntled water customer.
It went something like this:
Step 1: Fill bucket in the ocean, bring blanket side to baby so she can play with water and be under the umbrella.
Step 2: Watch as water gets dumped all over your towel.
Step 3: Interpret baby screams.
Step 4: Repeat process
I was a water hauling mule for hours. But it was worth every second when she waged war on the bunnies we made with the wet sand. She even had a battle cry, "Bye-Bye Bunny!" before she squished each one in to oblivion.
