She turned it to me at one point and asked – however where do the bugs go if they do not have any heaters? That’s what I told him..
Periodically I know that children are so amazing. Other times, they drive me completely insane. However, yesterday was one of those times when my kid was being particularly adorable and I was blown away by her humanitarianism. You see, she finally started to understand the seasonal cycle that characterizes our world; Every Summer it gets incredibly hot and every winter season it gets incredibly cold. My friend and I are able to survive all of these temperature swings because we have indoor air temperature control devices, like our air conditioner and heater. It was the first time that my kid has ever been so aware of our human privileges and everything that current technology has to offer. This is when she also realized that pets do not have access to heating, cooling, and air quality control systems when the weather is nasty. When the air temperature is sky-high, they cannot use air conditioners. When the outdoor air quality takes a turn for the brutally cold and frosty temperatures, pets do not have a way to use fireplaces or heaters. My kid started to get really uneasy about how uncomfortable all of the pets must be when we do not have a favorable weather conditions and they do not have thermostats. She even started to worry about tiny creatures, all the way down to bugs. She turned it to me at one point and asked – however where do the bugs go if they do not have any heaters? That’s what I told him… Well, they like to come into our nice and warm apartment to use our heater. Immediately, in that moment, my kid stopped caring so much about the cold bugs and told me that was disgusting, and kids.
