Periodically I wonder about people, but namely, I wonder if my teenager is out of her damn mind, because she sure doesn’t know how to act appropriately. It’s as if she has no concept of consequences, and just assumes she can go through the world acting like an ass if she so chooses. Well, that’s not how it works out on planet Earth, and it easily isn’t how things are going to be run in my own household, I can tell you that. This little snot decided that she was immune to helping out with property chores last week, for example. When I lectured him on property responsibilities she ran off and locked her door. I let him sulk and figured I would deal with her bad attitude the next afternoon. When I woke up the next afternoon, however, I found that the cabin was horrifyingly cold… Rather than worrying about my son, I had to deal with the thermostat. I went down the hallway and inspected the temperature control device, expecting that the ambient temperature had been changed on accident. Instead, I found that the smart thermostat component couldn’t link to the central heating device. The touch screen monitor indicated that there was a power outage on the end of the boiler, and I was completely puzzled over the heating device. I figured that before calling a ventilation professional I would go inspect the power source myself and situated the power box out in the garage. I was surprised to find the heater switch was flipped off… How could only the boiler be affected by a power outage? That’s when I realized my child was already out of the cabin and put two and two together. That little shit, evidently she was still so overheated headed in the afternoon that she attempted to freeze me out.
