Christmas Lights

We were lucky enough to have lots of houses with Christmas lights in our neighborhood. On our way to school each morning I would take a route that allowed us to pass as many of the lit up houses as possible.  Shortly after the holidays many of the neighbors took their lights down.  This was our chat one morning on the way to school.

Lindsey: Mom, where did all of the sparkles (Christmas lights) go?

Me: It got really cold, so a lot of the sparkles are inside now.

Lindsey: Did the bad guys take them?

Me: Bad guys? No, they are just inside where its warm.

A few minutes later we drove by a house with lights still on.

Lindsey: Look mom! Sparkles!  The bad guys didn't get those sparkles!

We realized that she picked up the 'bad guys' idea from too many episodes of Lady and the Tramp.
