I was futzing around in the basement last week, & I found 2 boxes of air filters.
One box was furnace air filters, & the other was for the air conditioner unit.
I wondered why the people I was with and I had full boxes of air filters in the basement, so I went upstairs to ask mom. She looked at myself and others love I was deranged & asked if I was sure? I showed her the boxes, & she said they had bought a couple years ago. She now wondered what dad had been using all this time, when he changed the air filters. When dad got home from work that evening, mom said nothing about the air filters, but she was being extra nice to him. After he finished eating, she said she had something to talk to him about. He smiled, & she asked what air filters he had been using in the furnace & air conditioner unit? He stuttered for a moment & said he used the a singles in the basement. He had to replace them because they were all out. My eyeah must have grown super wide because he sat back down but he had just stood up. Mom told him he needed to stay sat & asked him when was the last time he had changed an air filter. I almost laughed when he asked her if she thought all he did was nothing. He worked for a residing, made sure the shrubbery got mowed & did all the chores she put on his honey-do list. She told him he needed to show myself and others how to change the air filters. She would not use her cash to service a furnace or air conditioner because he didn’t guess increasing an air filter was important.
