Family Plans

Wife: The gas company phoned this afternoon.

Husband: About the gas stove that we ordered?

Wife: Yes, and also about the gas furnace you asked about.

Husband: What did they say?

Wife: They’re going to send someone out to talk with us about the furnace.

Husband: Good. I think we’re doing the right thing. The old furnace just isn’t very efficient anymore.

Wife: I agree. We should be able to afford a new furnace now that you got that raise in salary.

Husband: Exactly my thoughts.
