It's freezing in here! Can I turn up the heat?
Don't touch that thermostat! You don't pay the bills around here!
Dad! Are you serious? What's the point of having central heating if we can't use it! Look, I can see my breath!
Put on a sweater! I'm not gonna let you run up my heating bill just because it's a bit chilly.
Dad! I'm gonna catch a cold!
When I was your age, my parents didn't have central heating like you do! We had a furnace in the center of the living room and that was it. We used it to cook, heat the house and even dry our clothes! We never caught a cold. You should be grateful!
