Cindy in FL. Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Well, if it was just one guy in a kilt changing a very high lightbulb then the rest of us could just eat cupcakes and watch him climb the ladder! And also...at least one person will mention cupcakes, and someone else will mention kilts. Shopping carts and crock pots may also come up.

Chris in VA Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 haha love this! I was thinking of posting how different posters might respond--something like, Joanne: One, but the lightbulb must want to change. ('Cause she's a therapist, get it?) Negin: Happy Birthday, Lightbulb! Lori D.: Here are some wonderful books about lightbulbs! Remudamom: I shot out a lightbulb once. SWB: It's a 3 stage process, to change a lightbulb... And so on... :laugh: And so on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
