Imagine a childhood without HVAC

She said that the first day she went inside the bank into the amazingly chilly air conditioning, it nearly took her breath away

Back when she was growing up, my mother didn’t have any air conditioning in her house. As a matter of fact, she repeatedly said that she didn’t really assume anyone in her whole town who had any form of central air conditioning in their home. Back then, air conditioning was something that apparently you only found in really rich people’s homes. And my mom’s good old family wasn’t rich. Her Dad stayed at the beach house with all the kids and her brother was a farmer and so they didn’t have a lot of extra currency. But then, back in the day my mom started to labor at the bank sometimes because she was really quite smart when it came to numbers. She got a task cleaning and doing repair labor around there in the mornings before school and she loved it. She said that the best section of the whole task was the ultimate fact that she got to go to labor in the air conditioning every afternoon after school. She said that the first day she went inside the bank into the amazingly chilly air conditioning, it nearly took her breath away. She was so previously used to being outside, laboring in the sizzling hot and cold temperatures and the pounding sunshine on the farm that the air conditioning really surprised her. Once she got used to it, she started to really care about it and she looked forward to laboring inside where she could finally start cooling off every afternoon.
