My sister and her husband wanted to go out one night, so I offered to babysit their little girl, my niece, Jen.
Jen and I decided that we were going to play HVAC repair company.
She had me pretend to call the HVAC company and ask for someone to come over and help with the AC. She wanted me to say that it was very hot in her house and that she needed someone to come out ASAP to take a look at the AC. The AC was not actually broken but she wanted me to pretend. I thought that this was a strange game for a 4 year old to want to play, but I went along with it. We played pretend HVAC repair shop for a few hours that night, and she was finally able to fix the AC! Of course, Jen wanted to be the HVAC repair man. When my sister got home, she asked what we did. Jen was asleep but I explained that most of the evening was spent pretending that the HVAC system was broken and not to worry, that Jen was able to fix it. My sister laughed and said that their neighbors had their HVAC technician over the week before and that’s where she got the idea. I thought it was so cute that she was wanting to play pretend HVAC. What 4 year old girl wants to spend her night prenteing to fix the AC?
