Three Actual Conversations I Had Today

Edited for clarity.

1) First thing in the morning.

Me: "Oh, did you get sick overnight?"
Lydia: "Yesssss"
Me: "Do you feel better this morning?"
Lydia: "Arf, arf."

2) Later in the morning.

Cleaning lady (provided by the insurance company to help with the flooded basement): "Can you come in quick?! I have a major, major problem."
Me: "Ohmigod, what's wrong?"
Cleaning lady: "I dumped this bucket into the [basement] toilet here, and the tank just went pshhhhhhhhh, and water leaked all over the floor."
Me: "What do you mean 'pshhhhhhhhh'? Did the toilet break?"
Cleaning lady: "I think the tank just gave out. A plumber is on his way over now and we're gonna set up the dehumidifiers again on this side of the basement..."
Me: "Oh... *swallow* okay then..."

3. End of the day.

Boss: "Wow, you look tired."
Me: *grunt*
