Going Green in the Dark

It was the sound of panic on the other side of the bathroom door. "Aaahhh! Aaahhh! It's dark in here! I can't see ANYTHING!" Mr. Four-year-old's voice was thick with self-inflicted drama. "I can't see what I'm doing! Aaahhh!"

"So turn the light on, silly!" I yelled back.

"I can't!" Moments later, the door opened, and with an expressive sigh, he explained, "I was saving electricity. See, when you have the lights on, it wastes power."

There's nothing like making your morning more exciting AND saving electricity at the same time.
