trying to explain a power outage to a two-year-old


"Mama, can I watch Yo Gabba Gabba?"

"Not right now, the TV isn't working."

"It works!"

"Well, it doesn't right now because the power went out. We don't have any power right now."

"We have power!"

"We don't right now."

"But the candles are working."

"Yes, the candles are working, but that's different. That's not the power. See? The lights aren't working and the TV isn't working because we don't have power. But we will soon. And then the lights will work and the TV will work."

"Oooohhhh. Okay. Mama?"

"Yes, angelfish?"

"Can I watch Charlie Brown?"
