Occasionally I look at my children and wonder where on Earth they came from.
They have unusual interests that I can’t relate to, they have opinions that do not align with anyone else in the family, and entirely they can be rather dense. I consider myself to be a fairly logical and intelligent human, so it is constantly shocking when my offSpringtime prove their idiocracy to me. Recently, this was the case when my oldest child decided he could bring illicit substances into our home and conceal it from me. Nice try, but you’re not that smart. I noticed that something was wrong one afternoon when I heard of the central heating and cooling system making more noise than usual. It seems like the A/C was struggling to efficiently transfer our indoor air through the ductwork as usual. Every room seems like it had more high-powered a/c blowing through the vents, but the A/C unit sounded like it was struggling at the same time. I was walking through our house, trying to figure out what was going on with the central cooling system when I opened my son’s door. Immediately, a wall of warm and humid air greeted me inside his kitchen. I walked over to the air vent and found it completely clogged up with pillows from the outside. When I removed the fluffy obstacles from in front of the air vent, the pungent stink of weed immediately filled my nostrils, however clearly, my child had hidden his smoking supplies inside of the air vents and clogged the opening to the ductwork to suppress the stink. I have no idea why he thought this was a fantastic solution, considering how unpleasantly warm and humid it was in his kitchen. At least his stupidity makes it straight-forward to catch him in the act.
