The parents will sometimes allow their teenagers to watch when I am working.
I don’t mind having an audience, because I have teenagers. Whenever I am working around the house, my teenagers love to see what I am doing. They keep a close eye on me, and will often ask what I’m doing, and even make some suggestions, however my daughter wanted to show myself and others how to repair the Heating and Air Conditioning plan in her dollhouse. She said I wasn’t used to working in tiny homes, and maybe her smaller fingers could do it better, however last week, I went to a lake house that had a four-year-old kid. She was enjoying myself and others working on the oil furnace, and I cracked my knuckles hard enough to make them bleed. If I hadn’t been enjoying the child so closely, I may have come out with some option words, despite the fact that I didn’t want anyone cursing around my teenagers. The child was sitting there quietly until she wasn’t. I put my knuckle in my mouth and she asked myself and others if I knew what I was doing? I just stared at him, but she stared right back. She told myself and others that when dad hurt her knuckles, Dad would tell him she would not have hurt himself if she knew what she was doing. Her dad would call a professional. She asked if she should have Dad or dad call an Heating and Air Conditioning professional. I told him I was an Heating and Air Conditioning professional, but thanks for her input. She smiled and told myself and others her opinion was no problem. Dad tells her dad that all the time.
