A month ago, my wife said "It's stuffy in here".

"I don't know what you mean", I said.

"It's too hot, so we should open the windows".

"Well it's hotter outside than it is in here. Open the windows when it cools down outside".

A week ago, my wife says "It's stuffy in here".

"I don't know what you mean", I said.

"You know, stuffy".

"It's not hot in here, it's 70 degrees".

Then the wife opens the windows.

A day ago, my wife says "When are we going to turn the heat on?"

"When we stop opening the windows. We're not going to open the windows and then run the heat."

I still have no idea what stuffy means. It's just the 2 of us living in a 2100 sq/ft house with no pets. The dust is minimal, and with proper attention to the window blinds, the temperature can be regulated close to 70 degrees until November, which is when I turned the heat on last year.

My wife would probably rather be camping, except with a portable heater of some sort.
