We pass through the grill and immediately encounter the dreaded Air Conditioner Filter. No worries for us though since we are pure and clean and pass through the filter unscathed. We are moving fast and it is almost completely dark inside the tube where we find ourselves traveling. We don’t travel too much further before we run into a series of cold, wet metal plates. It’s turbulent and noisy but we emerge from the turbulence quickly and we are now about 25 degrees colder and a little drier.

Our journey continues through a tube which has some quick turns and junctions, in the distance we notice a little light. With the increasing light, we see the inside of the tube is nice and clean, not a bad place to travel. Soon we pass through another grill but much smaller that the first one. We’ve been deposited in the kids room where all is quiet, a rare thing we’re told. We float around the room a bit and as we do we notice what sounds like light breathing. Sure enough the baby is taking her afternoon nap and we continue to drift above her. The room is pleasant and clean, some light music plays in the distance.

A little more drifting and we find ourselves gently pulled into the baby’s nose back into the darkness and into her lungs. We are warm and moist again and happy to be clean and healthy for her to breathe.

Good thing her dad uses a good air conditioning filter.
