The kids that I often babysit regularly choose to throw toys in their air vents
The little children that I tend to babysit keep throwing toys down in the air vents in their room.
I don’t fully understand why they believe that it’s so exciting to do that, however this is the third time that I have caught them doing this thing.
I believe that they must believe that it’s completely amusing to see their toys disappear down the hole in their floor or something. I guess it’s a beautiful thing that there is only one heating vent in their living room. Otherwise, there would be toys in the ventilations ducts all over their residence… For some reason, the kids never choose to mess with any of the other heating vents in the rest of the residence, however they seem to think that the heating vent in their room is fair game. They simply pry the cover off of the air vent in the floor of their room and then they start shoveling their blocks and their books and stuffed pets down in that area. It’s incredibly frustrating to me because I believe that I’m going to have to scrub all of that stuff out of the air vents before their parents get back to the property at the end of the night. It happens every single time that I babysit over there at their property. I genuinely believe that someday they are going to cause some actual problems with the heating and cooling equipment at their property. However, I believe that it will be something that they will have a lot of enjoyment doing in the meantime! One day their mother told me that she was genuinely thinking that there was something wrong with the oil heating equipment in their room because the temperature was typically so cold there. When I told her to check the heating vents, she was completely shocked to see that there were numerous teddy bears shoved in the HVAC system vent!
