Every now and again, I absolutely sound just like our old man, then were he around to hear myself and others confess that, he’d be overjoyed.
That’s because when he would holler at myself and others for messing with the thermostat, I was consistently like however it’s only air conditioner! His response was consistently the same.
He’d put the thermostat setting back where he wanted it first. Then, he’d threaten myself and others with giant trouble if I moved it again, then of course, I would repeat that it’s only air conditioner and he’d launch into the costs of taking care of a family. Once the sermon would come to a close, he would tell myself and others to just wait until I had a family of our own. Well, dad left us way too early however at least he got to see two of his 3 grandchildren get born. He was so proud of myself and others being a homeowner and a family man, but he’d sure get a kick out of hearing myself and others holler at our own kids when it comes to the thermostat setting! For sure, dad was spot on when it comes to all it takes to give for a family, and this generation has a bunch of added costs mine didn’t… So I have to be so on top of all our household costs in order to maintain the household budget and keep us out of the red. It was entirely funny the other day when our daughter used the line on myself and others that I once used on our dad. When I heard her say however it’s only air conditioner, I sort of smiled inside. I could just know our dad laughing his head off because I now suppose exactly what he was talking about.
