By the way, if you find sharing your house with brothers/sisters/mum/dad/granny/grandad/cats/ dogs/fish/giraffes etc. the most irritating thing in the world eVeR, get this: most families had only OnE rOoM! That’s right. All of you eating, hanging out and sleeping in the same small place. AaRrRgGgHhH!
The better off you were, the more rooms you had – so some houses were divided into a sleeping area, a room for preparing meals and a shrine for worshipping at. But there still wasn’t much space for getting some time to yourself.
We´re going to need a bigger house.
Oh, and there was no chimney or windows in most homes, and as the fire was the heart of the home and on A LoT, it would get very smoky and filled with all kinds of weird smells (especially if your dad was a bottom- burp fiend).
It seems you’re probably in no position to grumble about where you live . . . at least compared to the Aztecs.
