ParentDish Size Six: When the electricity is out

Filed under: , ,

Hey there! Shall we consider this ParentDish Size Six: Survivor Style? You may wonder why I chose such a random topic, but our electricity went out tonight and we were ill-prepared, to say the least. I'd also like to point out that we are expecting a huge rainstorm in Southern California this weekend, and our neighborhood's transformer blew while it was sprinkling outside.

SPRINKLING.

Dear Lord, we're in for a long weekend.

Without further ado, I give you Size Six: Things To Do With Your Toddler When It's Pitch Dark In Your House And They Don't Understand Why.

1) Light candles while they freak out.

2) Read books while they freak out.

3) Sing songs while they freak out.

4) Rub their back while they freak out.

5) Let them run around the living room while they freak out.

6) Remember the battery-powered DVD in the drawer. Turn on DVD and watch as their generalized freakdom subsides.

Long live the battery.
