The last month has been the busiest as mom planned for our trip across the country.
She had rented a camper that sleeps six, so my friends and I would be comfortable.
Mom said she was guaranteed that the camper would have a cooling unit, heating system, and a full shower. But, she wasn’t assured that the cooling and heating systems would work. My friends and I wished mom had acquired that guarantee from the rental company before she went and picked up the camper. She had no clue how hot it was going to get inside the camper until we parked the first night. Mom went through all the steps on the guide to get the cooling unit now working, but this was no use. Mom once more pulled out the guidelines on how to turn the unit on, and followed them to a T. But, the cooling unit wasn’t responsive. My friends and I were miserable because it was hot where we were sleeping and it was uncomfortable where mom was sleeping. Mom kept saying that she could make the beds comfortable, but there wasn’t anything she could do about the lack of AC until the next day. Although we were 15 years old, my friends and I were not in the mood to understand anything. We made mom feel so bad that she was ready to turn around and go back home. Instead, mom demanded that we quit complaining and if we were nice for just thirty minutes, she would take us to a hotel for the night.
