Some days are so hot to sleep that Chris sneaks out of the house and goes swimming.
The cool water in the pool always brings his temperature down enough that Chris can be comfortable.
There is AC in the house, however his room was an add-on to the house. With it being an addition, Chris never quite got the correct amount of air conditioning or heating into his room. Since the lake was right next to the house, Chris felt safe going out and slipping into the cool water on those sizzling sultry days when he wished he had fine air conditioning. Every summer time Chris and his parents would sit down and chat about having a separate Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system installed into his room suite. His parents put it off for a couple of weeks, the extreme heat of summer time passes, and the modern Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system is forgotten. This year, Chris had no intention of going out and getting into the lake. The sidewalk was sizzling on his feet and getting out of the lake meant running into a sizzling humid room. This did not make Chris feel much better. Instead, he woke his parents up and told them he was calling the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business the next day. Chris was not going to go one more day without air conditioning in his family room. Their tired reply was to ask Chris if he wanted to move out into the next room or into one of the other family rooms where the air conditioning worked better? Chris shook them awake and told his parents that would be fine for that night. However, it would be the only night he would be moving out of his room because of lack of air conditioning.
