wall switches. i know we probably pulled them a hundred times a day ‘til we got used to it.
so one day you came back and there was electricity… but it was daylight, i’m sure.
yeah, but we pulled the switches anyway. had to see how many lightbulbs worked.
how many lights did you have? did you have light in every room?
no, we had a light in the kitchen. we had a light in the bedroom, the bedroom that had the fireplace which was, naturally, grandma’s and grandpa’s. and we had a light in the living room, which they called the parlor. and we had one light in my mother and father’s bedroom.
