My mom always says, “why didn’t you turn off the lights?” I say I forgot sorry mom I didn’t think about it . Ya it doesnt seem like leaving the lights on is a big deal.  But mom says it makes the electric bill go up. She always tells us when she was a kid she got in trouble for leaving lights on.  Grandpa was always worried about it.  Now mom is the same way!  Its funny because my dad doesn’t really care he likes the house to be bright and cheery.  But I guess I should try harder so I don’t make my mom frustrated.
