Blocked the HVAC vent so mom couldn’t hear

Isn’t it funny the things that you are willing to tell your parents once you get older? When all of us were younger, our parents were the enemy, and all of us worked so tough to do everything against their will and disobey them at every turn.

All of us wanted to sneak around and live our own lives, no matter what this month felt was appropriate for kids our age.

These afternoons, our parents are our friends, and all of us can look back fondly on those hilarious memories together, and recently, all of us were hanging out with my mom when I decided to reveal a single of my number ones teenage secrets to her. I knew that she was consistently listening in on my conversations in my study room any way that she could. If she got caught picking up the other end of the PC line to listen to my PC call, then she would stick her ear right by the air vent and listen to the echoes through the air ducts. I knew that this was her secret spying tactic because I once heard her sneeze through the air duct when the gas furnace shut off unexpectedly. After that, I realized I could circumvent her sneaky actions by plugging up the air vent and blocking out my sound. I unscrewed the air vent and installed thick insulation inside. Every Summer after that, my mom wondered why my room felt so excruciatingly hot, and she was consistently commenting on the air quality and stagnant indoor air, but never dug deeply into the air vent to find out what was wrong. If she had, she actually would have found a new way to spy on myself and others back then. I wonder if the new homeowners ever removed that air duct blockage?
