In our house, my wife and I try our hardest to make sure that both of us control our tempers and keep our language clean! From the moment we got married, we both agreed that there would be no screaming or swearing in our house, and we have done well to keep that agreement.
Even when we had children, we worked hard to make sure that we never did these things.
However, just this week, my wife broke that promise when she tripped over the space heater… Now, I understand her problem. The space oil furnace has always been in a bad location, although I have no idea where to put it, and our living room is very drafty, so we have a space oil furnace in the living room to keep it warm, but it also helps to keep the pipes from freezing during cold days. However, our receptacles are old, and we can’t just plug the space oil furnace into any outlet. We only have one outlet that is safe enough for a space heater, but it is over the counter. The space oil furnace has to sit in the middle of the room, and it is very inconvenient. My wife is always bumping into the heater and it seemed like a disaster was inevitable. One day, she turned around and walked without looking, and she tripped over the space heater. The space oil furnace fell over and was disfigured, and she hurt her leg, however when she hit the floor, she swore and said she hated that space heater. I knew that she was just mad because she knew that the space oil furnace was there for a reason.
