Near-brush with a nuclear thermostatic catastrophe

The offspring keeps me highly amused at best of times, especially when theyโ€™re not raising my blood pressure to new sky high limits by fighting each other and bickering until I have to tell them off and them Iโ€™m looked at with big huge eyes as the two of them cling on to each other as though Iโ€™m about to eradicate their happiness.
