The Wolff family - Part 2

Years later the Wolff's had moved into a new house since they needed an extra room for their now 12-year-old son Jake. Jake was in elementary school and was doing very good. He was considered by his teacher as the class best.

“Dear class, for Wednesday there will be no homework. I just want you to take down as many notes as possible so you can make a short presentation about the job of your parents” The teacher said looking at the students in front of her.

“Miss Goode, My mother can’t go to work this week, because she’s sick. Does it matter, if I got with my father instead? Questioned a brown-haired girl wearing a gray jacket.

“It’s okay Meena, it doesn’t matter” Responded Miss Goode earning a nod from the student. “Any more questions?” The gray-haired woman asked watching some of the students get up, while the ones, that were still sitting shook their heads. “Have a nice journey tomorrow” Miss Goode wished dismissing her class, watching them pack and make their way out of the classroom.

“Bye Kari, see you on Wednesday,” Said the raven-haired boy, which was the son of the Wolff’s passing by the girl with the red blouse.

“Bye Jake” Kari said watching Jake leave behind another classmate.

Morgana received in the evening a call from a work pal to change shifts with and she questioned her husband Thornton if he could take Jake with him to the work.

“Dear, I believe this will not work out. You signed the agreement after all” Thornton mentioned to his wife.

“Yes, but I think it doesn’t play a role, who of us is going to take Jake to the work”

“Are you sure?”

We could ask Jake if his teacher had said something about it?” Morgana asked looking from the living room at the kitchen, where they saw their son eating a bowl of cereals. The two parents walked at the kitchen observing the boy eating, then he looked up at the parents cleaning up his mouth with a paper serviette.

“Hi mother, hi father” Greeted Jake with a smile. “Is there something wrong?”

“Your mother told me, that she had to change shift with Jamie and the day she changed was tomorrow, where you and your mother were supposed to go together to work” Explained Thornton.

“Miss Goode told before at school Meena, that it didn’t mind if we would go with the other parent instead if the parent we are supposed to go would get sick or hurt,” Jake said. “If I can’t go with my mother, I can go with you, father”

“See, I told you,” Morgana said looking at her husband. “See it positive, you two can get to know each other better.

“You’re right, that’s a great idea, right son?” Asked Thornton not very pleased, then looked at Jake, which nodded in agreement.

“Sure thing, father”

The next day Thornton had arrived a half hour ago at his office. Jake wasn’t the only child inside the office, they were also two other children. He didn’t know their names but used to see them at the school during the breaks. One of the kids was named Mortimer, he sat on the other end of the room with his father, which was the senior manager in the insurance industries. Near the boy was another desk with an Irish journalist writing an article about the day, the children could visit their parents at work.

Most of the co-workers of Thornton have kids, but most of them were already teenagers who didn’t need to visit this event. They could do an internship, which happens in a couple of weeks if wished. Others can get a part-time job in Sunset Valley or take a babysitting course to take care of toddlers, kids or babies when being called by a family.

Thornton was expecting to have a boring day along with his son, but what he didn’t expect was, that his son had got interested in his father’s job and activities he does in this job,

“So they have to fill out a form, explaining how that accident happen. You receive that and read all of it, then he gets a certain percentage of money to pay the costs?” Asked Jake his father.

“Exactly. This case here, T.K....don’t forget, we have secrecy just like your mother has at her work. T.K broke a bone because she slipped on a wet floor and hit with her knee on the hard marble floor. We’ll pay her operation, her hospitalization and the gypsum, she has to wear for a few weeks. Appointments at the doctor can be paid by herself. Depending on the types of medicines some we can add, others the patient will have to pay for themselves”

“What types of medicaments would they have to pay by themselves?” Asked the son looking at his father.

“I’ve got a list of if of which we can and which we can’t” Explained Thornton opening a separate file to show his son. “The ones in red the client has to pay and the other does our insurance”

“What is Sildenafil?” Questioned Jake looking at the list. “Example Viagra?”

“Uhm I tell you that, when you’re older, boy” Responded Thornton. “Oh crap, that will be my task in a few years”

“Ah I remember that,” Said the woman with a giggle, which sat on the other desk in front of Thornton and Jake. “When my son Parker hit puberty you had to see my husband. He had written down everything a few years ago when Parker was just around Jake’s age so that he was prepared for when the first symptoms had appeared”

“Maybe I could get some advice of him”

“Daddy has only failed about the girlfriend issues with Parker” The daughter of the woman added.

“I really don’t like the fact your father didn’t speak with Parker in relation to women. I don’t like the fact, that every week he introduces us to a new girl,”

“Don’t want to be rude and interfere between you, but I think when he finds the right girl, this won’t be a problem anymore,” Thornton said earning a nod from the European descendant woman.

“We’ll see it,”

A while later, Thornton managed to finish some tasks together with his son.

“Ah look, son, this is one is a good example to show you. C.U crashed with her hybrid against another car because on the road a deer had jumped on the road and to avoid roadkill, she crashed her car against a car, which was parked in front of the garage of the owner’s house. C.U got a slight concussion due to the car crash. A few days hospital and an examination. Do you think we cover that?”

“No, she caused an accident on purpose” Responded the child.

“Are you sure?” Asked Thornton earning a nod from the boy. “How do you think it’s that?

“Well, she left the road and crashed against a car”

“But why did she do that?” The father asked.

“To avoid the deer to get killed....right?” Questioned the boy a little bewildered earning a nod from his father.

“But why?” Jake asked confused. “He crashed against another car”

“This person had to react quickly to avoid hitting the deer and she had two choices. First, she crashes against a car coming from the left side with two drivers, second against the car she crashed, which was empty or....she choose to kill an innocent animal over harming his own car or someone else’s. When you crash like her against a car, you might just hurt yourself, but at least your saved that animal’s life. The cars can be repaired in a few hours by a mechanic, while an animal....well, he can’t be brought back to life”

“Parker told me yesterday, he learned this from his teacher from the driving school,” Kaylynn said looking at her mother, which nodded at the girl while typing on her computer.

“Oh that makes sense,” Jake said understanding, what the father explained him. “But what if both cars had have people sitting inside it? What would be the best thing to do?”

“That’s a difficult question, but the best thing would be to do an emergency brake. You know, press the brake pedal down hard,”

“You’re really smart father, you know so many things, it’s amazing” Jake complimented his father making him smile a little.

Thornton started to feel strange around the boy. For the first time, he liked it, that Jake was here with him at the office. Thornton never imagined he would start to like Jake more than he expected to be.

In the end of the day, the two Wolff’s made they way back home meeting on the outside Morgana Wolff, waiting for the two to arrive.

“There you are,” Morgana said as the two arrived, then Jake went to hug his mother. “How was your day, Jake?

“It was really cool, mother” Responded Jake. “I learned so many things at his work, father even said I would do a great job if I would work there,” Jake said looking back at his father, which smiled a little at seeing the boy happy.

“It really was a mint idea for him to come with me, I never thought I and Jake would get so close together” Thornton confessed to his wife, which smiled glady at her husband.

“That’s great to know, darling” The raven-haired woman responded with a smile.

“Thank you father, this was the best day of my life,” Jake said putting his arms around Thornton shrieking him. Thornton felt Jake’s forehead leaning on his chest, making Thornton smile warmly and get down to him placing his arms around the boy’s back caressing it to the joy of the child.

“Get in before the dinner gets cold,” Morgana warned the boys, then Jake quickly got into the house, followed by his mother and the father Thornton, that learned today to get his son better known and maybe his opinions towards children and the younger ones could have been changed - or well, he handles them better.

Troubleshooting Dishwasher Leaks and Water Flow Problems

Once you move on from hand-washing dishes, there’s no going back. So when the dishwasher starts having problems, there’s no time to waste in getting to the bottom of it.

You can always call in a plumber for plumbing service in Thornton, CO and for some problems, you definitely should, but there are some small, common dishwasher problems that you can diagnose, if not repair, all on your own.

Finding and Fixing Leaks

Dishwashers are designed to not spill a drop, but leaks can develop if certain parts malfunction or become damaged. If you have an older dishwasher, some parts may be failing due to age and wear, which can also lead to leaks.

If you notice pooling water or signs of water spray around your dishwasher, it could be coming from one or more of three areas:

Around the door. The door is lined with a rubber gasket, much like the one on your refrigerator door. If there is a tear in the gasket, or if it has become cracked and brittle with age, this could be the source of your leak.

At the water source. A hose or pipe carries water from your household plumbing to your dishwasher’s water inlet. If this connection is loose or if a gasket has failed, water could be leaking from this area.

Underneath the dishwasher. There are three places a leak can occur under here: the water inlet, the drain and the seal around the pump. Leaks in these places can be caused by loose or failed hose clamps, cracked gaskets or a broken pump.

If you’re lucky, you may be able to pin the source down to a loose connection -- something you can fix in under a minute. If it’s a failed gasket or pump, check your dishwasher manufacturer’s website for information on replacement parts and DIY repairs.

You may find the instructions for these repairs surprisingly simple, and if it ends up being something you don’t want to handle yourself, your local plumber can always step in to make it a quick fix.

When Your Dishwasher Won’t Wash

Having a water leak is troubling enough, but your dishwasher is truly useless when there’s no water at all. And as with leaks, there are a few different common ways that this problem can occur:

The float switch is stuck or broken. The float switch is usually a plastic disc or cone that is attached to the floor of the dishwasher and is able to move up and down a few centimeters. When enough water has filled the dishwasher, the rising float switch is supposed to tell the dishwasher to stop the water flow. But if the switch gets stuck in the “up” position by soap scum or a fallen fork, no water will flow at all. This switch can also break, in which case it will need to be replaced.

The door sensor is stuck or broken. All dishwashers have a safety mechanism to prevent the flow of water when the door is not latched. If your latch isn’t “clicking” into place when you close the dishwasher, there could be a fallen object or some type of residue obstructing the latch. If the latch is functioning properly, it’s possible that the electronic switch that controls the water flow is broken and must be replaced.

There’s a problem with the water supply. If you have water in the sink, you know the problem isn’t the main supply. The next thing to check is the valve under the sink that diverts water to the dishwasher. If that’s open, follow the supply hose to make sure it isn’t kinked. You may need to remove the dishwasher’s kickplate to see the full length of the hose.

All it takes is the ability to look at your dishwasher from some new angles and identify a few parts, and you’ll be able to diagnose most water issues all by yourself. And if it turns out to be something you can’t handle yourself, you can always count on the pros at your local plumbers.
