With arms crossed and a pouty face in effect, I was starting to lose my case quickly. But I knew the best place to attack the defense was in their weak spot — and that weak spot was ice cream.
So I scooped up the three bulb wonder, zipped out of the line with daughter in tow and sped to the ice cream shop in record time for a total compromise. Case closed your honor. After the court room deliberations were over and I had the light secured in my possession, it was time to work off all of that delicious ice cream — time to put in the light kit.
