I hate to break it to you my son, but that’s just not possible at our house
The other day my ten year old asked me if he could spend the night at his best friend’s house. His best friend had spent the night over at our house quite a few times over the years, however this was going to be the first time that he was going to be spending the night away from us. When he returned the next morning, this kid literally couldn’t stop talking about how nice the air conditioning was at his friend’s house. We live in an extremely old house that was built long before state of the art air conditioning systems were around, so I guess he just isn’t used to having A/C at his disposal all day which is far from reality out at our place during the summer months. He was going on and on about how nice it felt to come home to ice cold air after running around outside all day and he slept the best he had ever slept before because apparently his friend keeps it a chilly 65 degrees in the room. I hate to break it to you my son, but that’s just not possible at our house. Perhaps I can get my son a window air conditioning unit that we could use during the summer months, but I am sure that will pale in comparison to what his friends’ parents have. Oh well, we can’t always have what we want and I guess this is my son’s first lesson with that. At least he had a great time at his first sleepover!
