How Hot Are You?

Yesterday, I was babysitting Elizabeth and Joshua and suddenly Elizabeth had a fever (surprise!). I went and got my Homedics No Touch thermometer and took her temperature. It was high. This thermometer allows you to take the temperature of a person or object by simply pointing at it. Joshua started asking me questions about it and as I answered he became intrigued with the thermometer. Soon every item in the house was getting a temperature reading.

Most items were around room temperature (go figure) but we did have some outliers. The coldest item was my chocolate milk at 47.3 degrees (yes, I drink chocolate milk) and the hottest item was my laptop at 119.5 degrees. (note that my laptop did record a temp as high as 121.7) This is no surprise since I have been complaining for more than 6 months that my laptop has burned my thigh and I am now scarred. That will be another post......

Today I was in the EDC and out of survival I hugged my laptop to keep me warm since I knew it was at least 120 degrees (and it is 50 there, ask Diane)

I totally need one of these. I could use it on people in line as a new feature for my blog.
