They’d been waiting for the plumber for over a week.
He was very popular because he always did a good job and he was very good at cleaning up after he’d finished fixing the problem. When they first discovered the leak, he’d crawled under the sink to take a look. From what he could see, it wasn’t something he could fix himself. He just didn’t have the proper tools to do it. When he talked to her about what he’d found he got the impression that she was unjustly disappointed. After all, if he tried to do it himself, knowing that he could make matters worse, she’d be even more annoyed. He knew he’d have to put up with her being grumpy about it until it was fixed.
She’d just finished mopping up again when he walked into the kitchen. Rather sheepishly, he said, “How is it?”
She glared at him. “Getting worse, that’s how it is.”
He sighed.
She got up and looking at the clock, said, “When you phoned him, you said he may get here today.”
“Well, no. What he said was he might get here today.”
“Oh! Don’t be silly. What’s the difference?”
He got out his phone and stood tapping at it. “Well, they’re both auxiliary verbs, I know that,” he mumbled.
More tapping.
“Yes, may is used to express opportunity or permission. It can also be used to express a wish or a prayer. That’s probably more apt in the present circumstances.”
He looked up with a grin, but couldn’t read the expression on her face.
He began tapping again. “Might, on the other hand… it’s another auxiliary verb, like I said. It’s also used to express possibility, but in the case of might, it is used when making a polite request for permission.”
He looked up.
She was still just standing there with her jaw dropped.
He raised his eyebrows and said, “I’m just telling you what is says.”
“For heaven’s sake!” she shouted. “Just get out, will you?”
As he left, he wondered, what had he done wrong?
Then it came to him.
He had walked into the kitchen!
