[The scene: new parents Paul and Jenny are lying under the covers with their newborn son Orion pressed against them. It is their first morning at home together. Orion awoke with blue hands and feet and a lowish body temperature. Paul and Jenny had left the windows open, as was their long habit, and failed to turn the heat on, because it’s freaking June already, can we have summer now? Orion is now warm and apparently unharmed.]
PAUL: Whew, that was close. Now we know he’ll tolerate air temperatures as low as 60 degrees wearing only a blanket. I wonder how much colder he can tolerate it? Half of me wants to find out.
JENNY: We are never letting him get cold ever again.
