Does your kid turn off your lights while you are working at the computer?

Just ten minutes ago, I was happily typing away here at my keyboard and getting lots of stuff done on My Lot. I haven't been so busy posting on My Lot in over a month. And, guess who popped into my home office for a quick visit? You guessed it. My little kid wanted to drop in to say "Hi!" to Mommy in the only way that she knows how, by turning off the lights. And, I'm not stupid enough to tell her not to turn off the lights again, or it would be the only thing she does from now on. She's at the rebellious stage. Tell her no even once and that's all she wants to do till she finds a new hot button to press. So, now I am typing away in the dark, too lazy to get up and walk five feet to turn the light back on. Maybe I will keep a broom by my chair and use it to flip the light switch back on, without getting out of my chair, the next time she pays a visit and flips it off. I guess things could be worse. Just last month, she delighted in unplugging my computer every five minutes until it started showing error messages. I guess she'll grow out of this light flipping phase about as quickly as the couple other hundred phases she has already gone through. Till then, I will sit here typing in the dark!
