Isn’t it strange growing up and seeing your parents for who they are? When you actually can acknowledge that your mom and dad are only human beings, just like all of the rest of us? It can be frightening and disconcerting to realize that they don’t have all the answers and, in fact, they are only crazy humans.
- I recently had to come to this realization when my dad became inappropriately involved with my favorite indoor air quality control specialist.
About 10 years ago, my parents got a divorce that seems to make them mutually happy. I was nice with the change, because I wanted to see my parents prosper. Shortly thereafter, my mom remarried a great guy. My dad, but, never found a new partner. Then, a few weeks ago he was over at my home while I had some scary heating and cooling drama. There was no cool air emerging from my air vents, despite the fact that the A/C was running in the yard. My dad sat patiently while I called the local heating and cooling dealership and arranged for a professional repair appointment to inspect my failing cooling system. When the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C tech knocked on my door, my dad’s boredom instantly seemed to disappear. His eyeah lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw this pretty blonde girl carrying a immense tool box and heading down towards the dirty A/C condenser in the backyard. When she was leaving after properly repairing my cooling system, I observed that my dad was quickly writing something down. A few weeks later, I found out that he had been taking down the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C dealership iphone number off of the work van. He’s been dating my Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional for 3 weeks now. I think he’s only human.
