Residents Report Thorne House Warm
Thorne House, Minneapolis (AP)
In a stunningly predictable fashion, the daytime temperature of Thorne House has stayed steady at 90 degrees during the week after there was a housewarming party at the property. When asked, "Is it warm enough for you?" on Saturday, Alex Butterfield (age 19 months) made a face only a parent could love.
*No children were harmed in the warming of this house.
Friends and residents were concerned that the heat might result in a vicious game of croquet. Fortunately, a cooling breeze and the arrival of an unexpected half-keg kept the competition friendly, if fierce.
In the days since the party, both Thorne residents have been overheard complaining about the heat up to a dozen times a day. When asked to comment for this story, both declined, citing that they were too busy soaking their feet in cold water. This reporter can only hope that any housewarming parties in the future will be scheduled during November!
