Water is Bad for Lightbulbs

Filed under: August 2005, Kids

I’m downstairs making cinnamon buns and the boys are unusually quiet. “I’ll check on them after I am done,” I think to myself.

Wrong Thought.

2 min. after that thought runs through my brain Joshua erupts into a loud hyena ear splitting cry that could only mean one thing… He’s hurt.

I dash upstairs and he is sitting on the bed holding his foot, crying his eyes out.

“What happened?” I ask

“Brandon sprayed water on the light bulb and it exploded!” he wails.

The light bulb fixture doesn’t have a cover on because it is one of Ryan’s ongoing ‘projects‘ that he needs “a part for.”

Brandon is all wide eyed holding a dripping water gun.

“Did you spray the light bulb?” I ask.

“Josh did,” he points at Josh.

Beside Josh lays another water gun dripping with water. Eventually he confesses to spraying the light bulb as well.

*ARG*

IT HAS STARTED! They have teamed up to cause widespread terror to make me go insane. The two brains combined will cause chaos in my house!

I’m screwed! I’m up a creek without a paddle! Life as I know it will change. I better grab my military gear and suit up. I can’t go down without a fight.

KID TIP #1

DO NOT USE WATER GUNS TO SPRAY HOT LIGHT BULBS. THEY WILL EXPLODE.
