The other afternoon my more than nine year old asked myself and others if she could spend the evening at her best friend’s house… Her best friend had spent the evening over at our home quite a few times over the years, however this was going to be the first time that she was going to be spending the evening away from us, but when she returned the next day, this kid literally couldn’t stop talking about how nice the a/c was at her friend’s house, however the people I was with and I live in an seriously old home that was built long before state of the art s were around, so I feel she just isn’t used to having at her disposal all afternoon which is far from reality out at our place while in the summer time months.
She was going on and on about how nice it felt to come lake house to ice chilly air after running around outside all afternoon and she slept the best she had ever slept before because obviously her friend keeps it a cold 65 degrees in the room. I don’t care for to cut it to you my son, however that’s just not possible at our house, perhaps I can get my child a window a/c unit that both of us could use while in the summer time months, but I am sure that will pale in comparison to what her friends’ parents have! Oh well, both of us can’t constantly have what both of us want and I feel this is my son’s first lesson with that. At least she had a good time at her first sleepover!
