There are no words that I mistrust more than when someone tells me to trust them before they tell me what I’m supposed to trust them to do.
When my children tell me to trust them when they say they will be home by curfew, I know they’re going to be late.
So, it should not have surprised my husband one bit when he told me to trust him to have the AC unit fixed in no time, I didn’t trust him. Not only does my husband not know anything about air conditioning, but he knows very little about electronics. When he said he was going to have the air conditioning unit fixed in no time, I went into survival mode. I called our son, who is an HVAC technician, and all I said was help. Mike told me to calm down and tell me what was happening. I told him that his father told me to trust him, and he would have the AC unit fixed in no time. Mike said oh and hung up the phone. Half an hour later, Mike was at the door with his two kids in tow. He loudly asked where his father was. I told him he was out in the backyard looking at the air conditioning unit. As Mike kissed me on the forehead, he said to have fun with the grandchildren out loud, but he told me he’d take care of it. Nearly an hour later, my two granddaughters and I had dinner ready for everyone as their father and my husband came walking into the house. Mike said he didn’t know why he came to visit, but he was glad he was here to help his dad fix the air conditioning unit.
