Arlene became more excited when he called her his assistant.
Mitchell was holding a slumber party for her twins and her friends. One of her daughters, Arlene, told her the day before the sleepover that she would wear her new pajama set, and since it was not as warm as the others, she wanted to know how we would keep the house warm enough for her and her friends. I assured her that everything would be okay; all we had to do was reset the thermostat to her desired settings. The answer opened a new forum for questions on our air conditioner. Mitchell told her a simplified version of how their air conditioner installation worked. The Q&A session reminded Mitchell that she needed to call the air conditioning company to deliver a new air conditioning filter. The a/c care was six months overdue, so she called the air conditioning business. The a/c representative arrived later in the afternoon when Charlene and Arlene were getting home from school. Arlene was so excited that she followed the a/c worker to the unit for air conditioning maintenance. At first, Mitchell stopped her because she thought she would be more of a distraction to him, but he stopped her and told the mother to allow her to stick around. Arlene became more excited when he called her his assistant. The tech thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and lubricated the different parts of the system as part of the a/c care plan. During dinner, Arlene spent the entire time telling her father about everything the man from the air conditioning supplier did and that she took part in the a/c repair. It was a/c service, but I decided not to point it out with how she lit up talking about it. The air quality had significantly improved.
