It was New Year's Day. Alisdair was at his grandparent's house and John was working and so Isobel and I were the only ones at home. Earlier in the day she had gone to the fridge and helped herself to a large carrot - eating the whole thing raw.
"Carrots are good for your eyes," she informed me, between bites.
A few hours later, the power went off. Instantly the cartoons Isobel had been watching were off the air and the whole house was dark. Since I was in another room, she couldn't see me and began to panic.
"Where are you Mum?," Isobel yelled. I called back so she knew where I was. She came closer to where I was and said, "Now I can see your feet!"
I told her what was happening and that we would have to wait for the power to come back on again.
As we waited (and it took about 2 hours) Isobel sighed and exclaimed, "I guess those carrots didn't work after all!"
I guess she thought because she'd eaten a carrot, that she would be able to see in the dark!
