A couple of wind storms ago the lights in my place were flickering a lot. We didn't end up losing power, but I did start to look for things in case we did. And that's when I discovered I didn't have a lantern on hand.
Sure, I have flashlights and a head-lantern (although I think I am going to get rid of it as it has some kind of loose connection and so flickers which is not at all helpful or ok).
So this weekend I was in a hardware type store and was looking at their lantern section when a young guy asked if I needed any help. I said no, I was just debating about lanterns in case of a power outage situation.
He pointed to one and said "that one floats!" and I, confused why I'd need this/aka why he had suggested it said "in case I'm in the bath?" he said something about "well if there's a flood or something", which again, not really something I'm worried about... having light in a flood situation? But I do know that he was just trying to be helpful and now I am hoping I didn't come across mean or anything I just thought it was funny that I was thinking about being home with no power and he was like "that one floats!"
Maybe I wish I could have just said "cool" and moved on but honestly my brain was trying to envision me in a dark bath with a flashlight floating next to me. I don't know man my brain just does stuff!
But yes, if you want a floating flashlight I know where you can get one!
