And the snow began to fall…aaaaand, fall…school was closed…the next day, too. Then, ALL the lights went out.
"GAAAAAAH!"
Aaaaand, DAYUM, it was dark.
"Don't NOBODY move!"
The sort of inky gloom that makes a person lose all sense of good grammar, too.
"Do we have any candles?"
Is the Pope, well, whatever.
[click, click, click, click]
"I'm cold…I have to go to the bathroom…I'm scared…I'm hungry!"
It's hard, you know? Living in the suburbs.
"Whatever you do, do NOT open that fridge!"
Minutes. Hours. Days. Weeks. Time stops, in the dark.
"Okay, who blew out the candles?"
Like moths to a flame, they just can't help themselves.
"Are we gonna freeze…can we flush the toilet…are we gonna die…do we have enough food?
[click, click, click, click]
"Everyone, close your eyes, take a deep breath and relax."
[whoosh]
"Okay, who blew out the candles?"
Honestly, I don't know how the pioneers did it.
"Um…wait…wait…I got one!"
It's hard, you know? Playing charades…in the dark, inky, gloom.
"No, it's MY turn!"
Minutes. Hours. Days. Weeks. Can cabin fever kill?
[flash, blink, blink, zap]
"POWER'S BACK!"
Aaaand, DAYUM, just in time, too.
"QUICK, turn the lights out AGAIN!"
[ZAP!]
"GAAAAAAH!"
Of course, pioneer parents probably would have agreed that playing head games on your kids is really quite fun.
"Don't NOBODY move!"
Or, perhaps if they had really good timing AND quick access to the circuit breakers, they probably would…I mean.
FWAHMP!
"Okay, who blew one?"
Stupid snowpocalypse!

We’re in a panic if the cable goes out. I can’t imagine losing all power in a snow storm.
Hurricanes don’t count, cuz if it’s that bad, we’ve already left.

This is so true to life when we face blackouts here! I feel like you were observing my family the last time we had to do without electricity. I guess that’s why I’m smiling. BTW, your snowfall made me appreciate the fact that we only got 12 inches here. That probably seems like a dusting to you.
