When I told him that I had never had air conditioning, he chuckled
I had never had air conditioning until he moved in with my husband. My parents didn’t have central air conditioning in their home, and we relied on a window air conditioner to keep our bedrooms cool. When I went housekeeping with my first husband, there was no air conditioning in the old farmhouse that he owned. We had a window air conditioner in our bedroom and one in the 14 daughters. After I split from my ex-husband, I took five years to myself. My daughters and I had a small apartment where there was no air conditioning, and we were not allowed to have window air conditioners. We had fans running all the time throughout the summer, trying to stay cool. I was having a lot of problems with my asthma, and the fans were not helping. When I met my husband whom I have now been with for 25 years, I was shocked to find out he had air conditioning. First time I walked into his house I almost cried. The air was so cool and comfortable that I couldn’t help but to just sit down at the dining room chair and relax. He asked if I was feeling alright, and I told him I was just overwhelmed with the air conditioning. When I told him that I had never had air conditioning, he chuckled. He told me to just sit and relax in my newfound air conditioning while he made dinner for me. Six weeks later I married him.He still teases me that the only reason I married him was for his air conditioning.
