I babysit for 3 kids who consistently seem to get in all kinds of trouble; A few weeks ago, I found out that they had found a new way to get into trouble with their mom.
They had started putting toys down into the air vents in their house.
The way that their mom figured this out was because she thought that their heating system wasn’t working. The weather outside was actually chilly and the rapidly increasing temperatures were actually dropping back then because it was the middle of January, she said that even though she turned the temperature control all the way up in their house, the stadium still felt super chilly inside. She had her kids wearing footie pajamas all day long because they just couldn’t seem to get warm. She said that she thought that the heating system was broken and so she called up their local Heating plus A/C company and made an appointment to get the heating system fixed. The Heating plus A/C serviceman figured the concern out within a few hours. He said that there wasn’t anything wrong with the heating system at all. He said that the only issue with the heating system was the fact that there were all kinds of blankets and stuffed pets stuffed down inside of the air vents. Apparently, when she told the kids to scrub their rooms, they were putting everything away in the air vents. Of course, that ended up blocking all of the ventilation ducts in the house and that’s when the heating stopped working. I actually had to watch them when I was babysitting so they wouldn’t keep putting things in the air vents.
