The elevator story
After20 minutes of silence, Mona coughed, to get my attention: “John the elevator wasn’t working at the mall today”
Me: “Too bad.”
Mona: “Did you know, the elevator was invented by a woman in 1852,”
I look up from the article I’m writing, “Tell me more”
Mona: “Her name was Elisha Graves Otis, and she founded the Otis Elevator Company. See, women can do anything men can.”
I looked over my laptop screen
“That’s right, and that’s why the elevator at the mall is broken.”
