My mom immediately called me and started yelling about how he was down there tearing up the air conditioning system.
My mom always calls me up to complain to me whenever my dad tries to fix something around the house. She says that he is always trying to prove how manly he is but the truth of the matter is that he does not know how to fix anything at all! He is terrible when it comes to doing any type of home improvement stuff around the house. I don’t know why he continues to try to fix things around their house, but it’s just one of those things that you can’t seem to ever talk him out of. I guess he feels like it is his manly duty. It’s funny, but my mom always says that his actual manly duty is to pay for a real appliance repairman or HVAC technician to come over to their house and actually fix the things that go wrong. The other day, their air conditioning system went on the blink and my dad said that he was going down into the basement to fix it. My mom immediately called me and started yelling about how he was down there tearing up the air conditioning system. I just laughed and told her to just go ahead and call the HVAC company to make an appointment because we all knew that he was going to be making the problem worse. She said that by the time he came back upstairs, the house was really hot and the indoor air quality was awful. My dad said that he guessed he would have to call the HVAC company to get it repaired. At that point, my mom laughed and said that they were already on their way.
