Night Fever, Night Fee-ver

Last night I went into the kitchen at 2 am to get a cold swig of Snapple and was greeted by a disco-ball like sparkly nightlight thing that changed color from turquoise to lime green to fuchsia. (I swear, I felt like I was in a culinary version of "Saturday Night Fever.") Was it all a bad dream? I wish. Actually, my husband had just stocked up at his favorite haunt, Costco. And he came home with a six-pack of these must-have nightlight things, which he had proceeded to plug in all throughout our house.

The five-pound tub of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter,” which took up valuable real estate in my refrigerator for eighteen months, was one thing. At least that eventually went bad. I’m afraid our new disco nightlights are gonna live forever. Or until they accidentally get tossed in with the recyclables on an especially dark and stormy night...

Since you like to introduce your kids to old music, sounds like the time is right for an intro to the disco era (for what its worth) :)

"I Can't Believe It's not Butter" actually goes bad? I thought that stuff would outlast the human race.

At least your husband does some of the household shopping!

OMG - proof that we were separated at birth - My fiance came home with the SAME LIGHTS FROM COSTCO! Of course, his kids are 9 & 13, and they actually use them as nightlights, but wow! Here's a trick: You can stop them from changing color! There's some switch somewhere so you can pick that whitish blue or green or whatever and stay with it.

Lara, Unbelievable that Costco sold more than one package of these things...and that your fiance bought the other one! Of course, as you say, HIS kids are 9 and 13. After I complained, my husband did turn off the switch thing for the color so now it just looks like silvery sequins...but they irk me just the same...I guess I just have a low threshold for the useless gizmos he likes to pick up at Costco and elsewhere...
