Government is a bad boy

My 3 year old kid was having shower in the morning & was enjoying every moment of his existence. He had applied soap on his face , his little body. And lo!!!! the shower stopped and there was not even a drop of water. He started crying & was disgusted how it can happen all of a sudden. He couldn’t understand that Electric Department, the Government body was changing/repairing a transformer since more than 15 hours and there was no power since then. The water couldn't be pumped without power in to the overhead tank. As a result the shower stopped. I somehow arranged a bucket of water , bathed my son and gave him clothes to wear. I have never seen him getting so distraught out of his experience with the shower. After he stopped crying, he asked me "Dad, what happened? How did the water stop in the shower?" I told him "Beta, Government cut the power because of which there is no water" He replied back saying "Is it...." then said after thinking a while "Government is a bad boy".
Guys I think you can make out what I am trying to tell. Is this a way to handle a downtime /power cut. It has become a norm ,now we are immune with this system. It doesn’t bother to us anymore. We can whine for a while but we just go along and on.
My kid deserves a better treatment so is yours. Have you guys ever thought about it…?
