Met my kid; servicing his mom’s AC unit

In fact, the central Heating and Air Conditioning system belonged to a girl that I dated briefly back in my wild twenties

You never know what surprises are going to be thrown your way. For my entire life I have been trying to expect the unexpected. I have constantly figured that it was best to be prepared for the random curveballs that life would throw at me. However, I never could have expected that consequences from my younger, more reckless years would still be catching up with me 25 years down the line. This was unfortunately the case when I went on a routine heating, cooling, and ventilation maintenance appointment last week. My boss at the heating and cooling dealership sent me out to an emergency maintenance inspection across town. I was told that a big a/c had broken down and this family was panicking over their poor indoor air quality. To be fair, it was an severely overheated and humid day outside so I understood that the cooling system breakdown was a sizable problem. I hustled off to the central cooling maintenance appointment expecting that I would encounter some bugs and weeds outside..! But never thinking that my illegitimate child would be present at the emergency maintenance appointment. When I arrived I was shocked to instantly think the owner of the central heating and cooling system. In fact, the central Heating and Air Conditioning system belonged to a girl that I dated briefly back in my wild twenties. As I began looking over the cooling system I couldn’t help however shake the feeling that someone was enjoying me. When I looked up, I saw a young guy who was my spitting image… During this cooling system maintenance I was beyond shocked to meet my son for the first time.
