Stockholm Syndrome: We’re Siding with the Heater Now

Isn’t it interesting how, in a hostage situation, the hostages eventually turn on each other? 😂

My teenage daughter has accompanied me on this pilgrimage to the south, and the strain is beginning to show.

She lives in one of the coldest parts of the country, yet even she has noticed something peculiar: no one here turns on the heater—but everyone complains about the cold and how much heating costs.

How the fuck would they know?!

They never put the fucking thing on. 😬

At this point, I think we’re developing Stockholm Syndrome. Another few days and we’ll be defending the heater, bonding with the electricity bill and insisting the cold only hurts us because it cares.

But I digress.

This too shall pass.

At least that one is a statement I know to be true.
