living in the 21st century
i got home from work yesterday and found a note saying that my parents were out, and that we had no electricity. so my thought was, 'okay, well i'll just go online to do my homework til they get home.' then 'oh, i guess that won't work. maybe i should just watch a movie. oh. maybe not.' so i sat and read for awhile, then, when the reading started to make me fall asleep, i thought 'maybe i should take a break and watch a movie.' then 'you dope. you already thought that, and it still won't work.'
then my mom thought, 'oh. well i guess i can't iron. i'll just do some sewing on my machine. oh. maybe not.' then later she thought, 'okay, well i don't want to open the fridge cuz i don't want to let the cold air out, so i guess we won't have leftovers. we can just have sandwiches. or toast. toast sounds good. oh. maybe not.'
and so it went.

i would assume that some time in there your mom came home
of course, i'm the silly one who always hopes the electricity will go out so then we can play laura ingalls. it never occurs to me that we can just not turn anything on.
yes - mom came home.
i felt very laura ingalls-y when i wrote a letter by candlelight.
then later, father (who also came home), realized that hey, we have solar powered lights by the sidewalk, so he dug them out and we stuck them in vases so we could set them down places, but also so we could carry them. i felt very lost-y when i took one like a torch and went around corners and up the stairs and stuff.
i hope you didn't find any others
no, i didn't find any, nor did i get zhooped by the monster. but still - it was exciting.
that's hilarious! (you had me actually laughing out loud;) ... you also sound like laura ingalls the way you refer to your dad as "father" :) ... how come your power went out, btw? was it a storm?
we think cuz of how bad the winds were. no rain, but the wind was insane.
