It’s like no one in this sub has ever met a 5 year old.

Your body is very happy when it’s the right temperature. It’s so happy, that it has special powers to make it stay at that temperature all the time, even when it’s hot or cold outside. But sometimes, when there are germs invading, your body has some special knights who get called in to help beat the germs, but they like the heat so for them were willing to turn up the temperature to make them happy so they work harder until they defeat the bad guys and you’re healthy again.
