Dear Queenie,
My parents recently got a water cooler like you see in public places – waiting rooms in doctors’ offices and places like that.
Queenie, what’s the reason for having something like that in your home when you have a fridge in the kitchen? It’s not like they have a lot of people coming and going all the time.—Puzzled Son
Dear Son,
Possibly your parents drink a lot of water and do not want to keep going to the kitchen for it, and the cooler saves them a lot of space in the refrigerator.
You can ask them why, if you want to, but whatever their reason, it is their house and they are the ones living with the cooler – so, cool it, Sonny!
