A Casual Observation
The Scene: Interior of a suburban family home. Errant pieces of Lego are scattered across the living room floor, along with various National Geographic magazines, empty bags of microwave popcorn, and small, jingly cat toys. A mother, reading a book, sits in the middle of the sectional couch. Her slippered feet are propped up on the coffee table. She is bundled up, wearing a jacket and knit hat, indicating that the home’s furnace is not working. Her teenage son, wearing a sweatshirt and knit Chullo hat, sits on the floor, focused on building his Lego creation. The younger son comes striding into the living room wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. The teenage son looks up and notices his brother.
Teenage son (deadpan voice): Your seasonal clock is out of tick.

this is sooo funny because I was just having a conversation about the very same thing… more like what people prefer their home’s temperature… Meghan is neither ever hot or cold…so she would be like your younger son.. I may do a quick poll post about the subject…
funny!!
And I remember the day clearly that we had to have our old furnace replaced (broken) in the mid-winter…I could see my breath, hang in there!!
