A child can surprise an adult with the wonder of their imagination. A child will want to know how the hot water got into the pipes. A child will want to know why a house has repeated stripes on the rooftop in the frosty wintertime. To an adult, explanations can be justified. If the insulation in the attic is poor, the frost will melt in between the wooden truss because too much heat is escaping through the roof materials. The truss beams have frost above them. No heat could escape through their thickness. Frost could not melt. The result is a frost, no frost stripe appearance on the rooftop. Seems to be very logical, right? Adults turn the water faucet on that has an “h” on it. That is how hot water gets into the pipes.
What if digits appeared on a small-lighted touch pad that registered the temperature selections you desired? You want 80 degrees, touch the pad until 80 degrees appears on the register. Remove your hand and a moment later, water flows at 80 degrees. No more right and left hand knobs, just the temperature you want for your water.
And at every first frost drive around to see who needs additional insulation. The rooftops will be your clue. Insulators could use that list of potential customers. Return to thinking like a child. Use your imagination.
Be careful adults, you might cripple a child’s imagination with wrong comments. Logic and intelligence can kill.
Imagination can triumph over intelligence, if you learn to mix some love into the equation.
