Two brothers. One thermostat. Zero chill — or possibly too much chill, depending on which brother you ask.

Kyle woke up sweating at two in the morning and found the thermostat at seventy-eight degrees. Connor maintains this is calibration. So they are settling it the only way they know how: a mock-formal trial with opening claims, exhibits (Kyle made a chart; it involves a dampness index), a cross-examination of a four-inch-thick blanket, precedent from the dish code era, expert testimony from Mom herself, a dirty tactics round, and closing arguments featuring a surprise witness named Ferdinand the fern.

Verdict at the end. The Thermostat Code is now binding household law. Send your own household disputes for the next trial.
