Whenever we leave the house we send someone around to make sure all the lights are off. My kids tease me because I am a "compulsive light turner off-er". I dream about putting a motion sensing light fixture in the girl's closet. I personally think I am a bit of a nag about light turning-off.
This morning at breakfast, there was some conversation between the kids about leaving the lights on all the time. I think it had to do with the Christmas lights. I said something about being being more worried about the inside lights being left on all the time. The kids went silent and looked at me in amazement. Truman said "Is a big deal? Would you like us to turn off our bedroom light when we leave?" I wasn't sure if he was teasing, but everyone was waiting for my answer. I said it would be great. They all nodded sincerely, and agreed "Sure, we can do that."
When they left for school all the lights were off.
Maybe I haven't been speaking english for the last 16 years.
