Got Six on the Brain?

We've been doing great with the windows vs. the AC, but it's been hard in the evenings due to the humidity. The house is completely cool in the morning but every night is just down right sultry! Fortunately Bryson and I are the same kind of stubborn and when we set forth to use a utility less, we'll do it even if it means a little discomfort.

Yesterday I bought the outdoor clothes hanger but forgot to get the stand. So, I'm going back to Ace tonight. When I got the poles out of the box Ben asked why we had bought this crazy looking contraption. I explained to him that I

want to hang the clothes outside to dry because the dryer makes the house hot while we are trying to keep it cool and there was a perfectly plentiful supply of wind and heat outside in the summer months. It makes perfect sense. And that is when it became clear to me what is wrong with the world today, because my son said, "yeah, but it would be a lot easier to just put the clothes in the dryer," and I agreed. Then I pointed out that easier can also mean irresponsible and told him that while he made a good point and is a smart little guy, the problem with the world is that adults are still thinking like six year olds. He understood, which made him one six year old who is now thinking like an adult.
