Let the games begin…

Filed under: The ball and chain

Winter time is now upon us. Ryan and I play the thermostat game. I’m always cold, so I turn up the temperature. Ryan is always hot, so he turns it down to 0 below Kelvin.

While sitting at the supper table I feel goosebumps travel up my arms and down my legs. I begin shivering.

“It’s cold did you turn down the heat?” I ask Ryan.

Ryan innocently looks at me. “Nope. I turned it up.” He grins his evil mischievous grin at me.

“You did not! You turned it down!”

“Isn’t up this way?” he asks, pointing down.

“You know how I know you turned it down?”

“No, but I’m sure you’re going to enlighten me, ” he sighs wearily.

“It’s cuz my nose is cold… AND cuz I have goosebumps all over!”

“You know I think I’m going to buy a new thermometer to control the heater. It will have a password on it…”

I glare at him.

“…just so you can put a passcode on it and prevent me from turning the temperature down all the time!”

“Quit giving me a false sense of control. I’m on to you!”
