Husby has always paid the bills in our home.
As a single income family and he the one earning the money,
it seemed apropos.
He has also tried to convince his rather large family that
we need to at least make a show of being economical.
It’s an uphill battle.
Lights are a biggie.
Because power is a biggie.
It isn’t unusual for one to hear – several times per day –
the phrase, “You forgot to shut off the light!”
You’d think we’d learn.
Sometimes, though, the shoe is on the other foot.
With mixed results . . .
Husby and I were getting ready for bed.
Actually, he had already readied and was cozily cocooned
and, I thought, drowsy.
I was a few minutes behind him.
I approached the closet wherein the change to pajamas would
occur.
And noticed that he –
the-mighty-earner-of-the-money-and-payer-of-the-bills – had left the light on.
My day (night) had come.
“You left the light on!” I said gleefully as I entered the
closet.
I should probably mention here that some joker, when designing
the closet, put the light switch on the outside.
No sooner had I closed the door, when the light went off.
Yeah. He thought it was pretty funny, too.
