The Tale of a Burned Out Lightbulb

This is a true story. As it was happening i was writing everything down so that i could tell everyone about it. I only made up what her dad was saying and it is probably realistic


So today something shocking happened in my dorm room. My roommate turned on her desk lamp and then it burned out. Apparently this was quite a shocking event for her because she was very surprised something like that could occur. She was very confused about the situation and so i had to help her out. I told her that the light had burned out. I guess that she had never turned on a light before only to have it go out. Now last year in physics we learned that when lights just burn out the filament breaks or something like that. With this being said it is obvious that i am quite knowledgeable about this subject matter. Well since she could not figure out what had happened she had to call her father. Now i only heard her side of the conversation but i can basically guess what her dad was saying to her
Roommate: Um so i was sitting here and i turned on my light but it did not work
Dad: ok i will bring you a new one what kind is it?
Roommate: Well ahh i have no idea it lights up and there is a sixty on the bottom is that important?
Dad: ok sixty watts is it clear or frosted?
Roommate: Well i think that it is clear i can see through it oh wait maybe it is opaque yeah i think that is it
Dad: No it would be clear or frosted
Roommate: Oh well um maybe is frosted like transparent?
Dad: no that would be clear
Roommate: well i think it is translucent because i can see right through it and it is clear
Dad: so it is transparent and clear
Roommate: Yes clear. Dad i have no idea what happened i just turned it on and there was a big flash of light and then there was no light at all
Dad: It must have burned out that happens
Roommate: So they just turn off like that? That is really strange i unscrewed it and rescrewed it but nothing. They should make them better.
Later...
Natasha: You have a desk light under your desk that you could turn on
Roommate: ...
...
Roommate: Oh i just realized that there is a light attached to my desk that i could use
Natasha: Oh yeah how about that
Roommate (turning the switch on and off): That is weird it will not work but it worked before
Natasha: Maybe you have to plug it in
Roommate: no i never had to before
Natasha: Are you sure?
Roommate:...
...
Roommate: oh i do have to plug it in now it works

DUH

I think that parents need to teach their children better life skills
