We Are Not Air-Conditioning The Neighborhood - Funny Dad Quotes Tee
- Vendor
- WitMonger - Printed & Shipped From USA
Shoes off, door shut. In that order, every time, since 1994. I pay to cool this house, not the porch, not the mailbox and definitely not the Hendersons' cat. Every time a kid stands in the open doorway to finish a conversation, the electric meter on the side of the house spins like a slot machine. I have said the line so many times the dog now closes the door himself. A funny dad shirt, and a Father's Day gift from the kids who never once shut the door behind them. They are in college now. I still hear the door.
THE FINE PRINT
WE ARE NOT and THE in a slanted brush script, AIR-CONDITIONING and NEIGHBORHOOD in heavy block capitals. Below, a front door with a half-round window swings wide open on its step, a porch lantern to the left, shrubs on both sides, and cold gusts with seven snowflakes pour out to the right. Worn finish.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND
Does leaving the door open waste AC?
Yes. Cooled air spills out and warm, humid air comes in, so the air conditioner runs longer to catch up. A few seconds costs very little; a long goodbye in the doorway on a hot afternoon adds up. The dad estimate is always higher than the real one.
What do dads always say?
The classics include 'close the door, were you born in a barn', 'money doesn't grow on trees', 'ask your mother' and 'I'm not paying to cool the whole street'. Most of them are about doors, lights and the electric bill. Every dad believes he invented them.
What temperature should I set my thermostat in summer?
The US Department of Energy suggests about 78 degrees Fahrenheit when you are home and awake, and higher when you are asleep or away, to save on cooling. A programmable or smart thermostat makes that automatic. None of it works while someone is standing in the doorway.
