The Thermostat Saga
It was a brisk winter evening when Dad declared, “No one touches the thermostat without consulting me first!”
Mom smirked, “And why is that?”
Dad puffed out his chest, “Because it’s a dad’s job to keep the balance between warmth and the electric bill!”
Later that night, the kids decided to test him. They turned the thermostat up by two degrees and waited.
Within seconds, Dad appeared, eyes narrowing. “Who dares to disturb the sacred temperature?”
The kids giggled, “We were cold, Dad!”
He dramatically pulled out a blanket. “This is what blankets are for! Now, witness the power of my dad instincts!” He lowered the temperature back, whispering to the thermostat, “It’s okay, buddy. I’ve got this under control.”
