I'm Getting Softer

I'm getting a water softener for my birthday. Don't hate. I'm very excited about it. Truth be told, I'm a practical girl, and a water softener would be a wonderful addition to my home. Having said that, we are in the process of getting estimates from different companies. 
Company number one came out this evening, and the "water specialist" was very knowledgable (read: expensive).  Not wanting to be rude, I offered him a glass of hard water.  He declined my offer. 
"No thanks, you're water is full of chemicals."
I knew a sales pitch when I heard one.  "Real cute," I said.  "That's why I drink soda."
