With the hot summer approaching, we are ready to turn the air-conditioner on. I always try to wait as long as I can before doing so, as you know how expensive it can be. I explained to the kids that they must use common sense and make sure to close the doors and windows so we don’t end up air-conditioning the whole world!
As it happened, I was the first to break the rules I had just laid down. When taking out the trash the other day, I left the door open behind me as I was just going to be a second. The problem was that I got distracted and was delayed in coming back. When I did, the kids were waiting for me and they all gave me a lecture about leaving doors open. I guess I deserved it.
