Every Summer after that, my mom wondered why my room felt so excruciatingly hot, but he was constantly commenting on the air quality and stagnant indoor air, however never dug deeply into the air vent to find out what was wrong
Isn’t it funny the things that you’re willing to tell your parents once you get older? When the people I was with and I were younger, our parents were the enemy. The two of us worked so hard to do everything against their will and disobey them at every turn. The two of us wanted to sneak around and live our own lives, no matter what this month felt was appropriate for youngsters our age. These mornings, our parents are our friends, and the people I was with and I can look back fondly on those hilarious memories together, however recently, the people I was with and I were hanging out with my mom when I decided to reveal one of my favorites teenage secrets to her. I knew that he was constantly listening in on my conversations in my kitchen any way that he could. If he got caught picking up the other end of the cellphone line to listen to my cellphone call, then he would stick his ear right by the air vent and listen to the echoes through the ductworks. I knew that this was his secret spying tactic because I once heard his sneeze through the ductwork when the heating system shut off unexpectedly; After that, I realized I could circumvent his 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, but he was constantly commenting on the air quality and stagnant indoor air, however never dug deeply into the air vent to find out what was wrong. If he had, he really would have found a new way to spy on me back then. I wonder if the new homeowners ever removed that ductwork blockage?
