funny story

yesterday was Christmas

so we did what normal people do

and opened our presents

in our living room next to our tree

olive was laying on the floor in front of me

but fussed a little so i picked her up

and just moments later

our hanging light

that we've used in a few different apartments

over the last few years

started flashing until it went dim

and then the bulb caught on fire

and dropped to the floor

right where olive had just been

take a look at the inside of our ikea fixture now

 and the light bulb that was in it 

reasons to be grateful:

1. this happened while we were home

2. olive didn't get burnt

3. our apartment didn't burn down

and the lessons we learned are

never leave lights on when you're not home

(though we usually don't anyway)

and don't trust GE lightbulbs
