The difference between accurate and useful information

Moved in to our new bungalow this week - I was soooo excited!

Unfortunately Daddy was still having problems programming his smart lighting system (well, if he'd have asked me, I would have explained how to do it...) The power load was too big when a lot of lights were on so it kept cutting out and throwing us into pitch black darkness. After a bit of annoyed shouting from Mummy, either Mummy or Daddy would then go into the garage to trip the switch back and the lights would come back on.

It happened again tonight, just before Dad got home. Mum was in the kitchen cooking. All of a sudden everything went pitch black. I heard Mummy yell out, with a small amount of panic in her voice, "Joel, where are you?"

I shouted back to reassure her: "In the dark, Mummy!"

I think Mummy must have thought for about two seconds before then replying, "All right, stay where you are and I'll get the lights back on."
