A couple of nights ago, we had a pretty bad storm and the electricity went out. Well, like anyone who has lived in the digital age for too long, we were trying to be creative with our time. The children didn't understand why they couldn't play the wii, why the fans weren't on, etc.
I was getting William's breakfast of champions (cereal) and I got the milk quickly out of the fridge. I told William that I hope that the electricity would come back on soon so all the food wouldn't go bad in the fridge. William said, "Is it because the light's out?"
Yes.
I explained to him why we need electricity in our fridge to keep the food cold. He understood and was eating his cereal. Then he looked at me and said,
"Mom, all we need to do is get a bunch of flashlights, turn them on and leave them in the fridge. They'll keep the food cold."
After I understood his line of thinking, it made me realize that maybe I didn't come across as clearly as I thought I had. So I corrected myself.
We did eventually get our power back on, the food didn't go bad. And I'm sure you heard Lily screaming from the rooftops, "JESUS TURNED THE ELECTRICITY BACK ON!" from miles around.
