Wow..its Hot!
While sitting on our deck on a hot summer day, Morgan complained, ”Mommy, it’s too hot! I want to go back inside!” What a perfect opportunity to show her a thermometer. With help, she read that it was 45 degree Celsius on the deck...ouch! Meanwhile, back inside our home, we have the air conditioner set to 19.5 celsius. I asked Morgan, "Which temperature do you prefer?"
