If you’ve
been following my blog for a while, you know that we live very near a major
university and have been blessed with having our kids live at home as they
attend classes (thereby saving everyone a lot of money). My husband, who thinks
the kids are getting a great deal, refers to our home as the Five-Star Keller
College Resort. However, having four independent, strong-willed adults under
one roof is sometimes…interesting. Such things are best handled with humor.
Lately, a student/resident
lodged a complaint with the management about the winter temperature of the
resort. I think the phrase “Our house is an ice pit” may have been used. I
believe I responded, “Wear more clothing.”
When I
realized that breathing formed clouds, I bought one of the residents a space
heater.
This is the
note I left in the room of our guest:
“The Keller
College Resort has noted the current heating problem and has taken steps to
remedy the situation. We hope this will allow us to maintain our current five
star rating. Sincerely, The Management”
I found this
note later on my bed:
“Resident
Keller would like to remind the management that they currently only have three
stars. However, he is still thankful for the snazzy new heating element that
resident Jacob will be jealous of.”
Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun - and that is the best way to get through anything bordering on hard times!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you don't keep the house as cold as I keep my apartment.
ReplyDeleteHa! Hilarious! And a space heater does wonders. I have a big drafty apartment and it makes it so much comfier. I also lived at home for a couple years in college, after living in the dorms freshman/sophomore year - SUCH a great decision. And my mom loved it, too ;)
