Question: What happens when you squirt a light bulb with a water gun?
Additional, pertinent details:
yes, the lightbulb is on and HOT.
yes, the water gun is loaded with water that is COLD.
Answer: What happens? Glass explosion. Subsequent Daddy explosion that far outshines the glass explosion.

Oooh. I’m guessing that no one got hurt since you didn’t mention it. That is really good. At least you’ll know for next time, right?

Wow! You know what is funny? I’m almost tempted to do just that and see how much of it explodes.
Glad no one was hurt.

Thanks for the warning. That could definitely be repeated in my house!

How scary! I’m guessing nobody was hurt?
But what an interesting “experiment” for the boys, under controlled circumstances…
Yes, I would be the Mad Scientist Mommy.

Okay, trackback. I would NEVER do that intentionally in front of the boys. Not just dangerous, but it would give them even worse ideas. Didn’t want to freak you out with my last comment.

It doesn’t actually say who did it… was it you or the kids? What did J-Mom say??
8:48 am
YIKES! Scary. I trust everyone is ok?
9:00 am
Funny and scary at the same time–the funny part is the daddy explosion! Those explosions top most others!
9:19 am
Man, that sounds like something my brother would try. You know the one who shot a slingshot in the house. Fortunately he made it to 20 years old alive! You’ve made me thankful that he’s now an adult!!

OOOPPPPPSSSS!

I must never allow my twin boys to read this blog entry. Never. Ever. Ever.
9:39 am
And the motivation behind this experiment was…
Boredom?
Attempt to subdue pesky fly alighting on said lightbulb?
Malice?
Curiosity?
9:42 am
wow! that had to be crazy!! glad everyone is ok
9:59 am
Wow, this can go down as the Great Dad and Bulb Explosion of 2006. As in, “Don’t do that! Don’tcha remember the Great Dad and Bulb Explosion of 2006?!”
11:25 am
Doubly explosive! Glad all are ok!
Great experiment (when done under non explosive terms!)

So, you’re absolutely SURE you don’t have any teenage boys living in your house?
And I agree with Kim. My son is never ever to read this blog
1:12 pm
I am NOT. EVER. letting my teenage son see that post.
He WOULD repeat that experiment. No doubt about it.
1:23 pm
There’s glass shattering all over blogland today– at my house too..
I haven’t told my husband yet. Hopefully yours has recovered by now.

Wild behavior in front of Jmom – at least there’s no fluff, just the real thing going on.

Oh, that’s nothing! Here in Baton Rouge, some kids grow up not knowing that there are different kinds of snow and sometime this past winter some of the kids in Pepper’s class asked the teacher (who is originally from Iowa and KNOWS snow) what she did that morning because there was FROST (like barely) on the windshields. She looked at Pepper, knowing we moved from PA, and said, “You scrape it off.” One of the kids said, “Oh, I just dumped boiling water on mine.”
My daughter looked at them and said, “Okay, you go with that.”
2:52 pm
I found your site after you left your comment on mine. I love this brief and funny story. Maybe because I still remember the exploding light bulb.
3:27 pm
Oh no! Too bad you don’t homeschool, you could count that as a science experiment.
4:07 pm
This sounds like a blonde lightbulb joke gone bad.:(
7:25 pm
Doh!!!!! Fortunately, no one was hurt for the sake of science.
Poor Daddy had to be (hehehehehe) the (hehehe) heavy…
9:06 pm
Sounds like it’s time for safety glasses for Christmas.
10:36 pm
I’ll take your word for it. We don’t need to experiment with that one!
2:44 pm
Oh my, hope no one got hurt (by the explosion or wrath of daddy, lol)!
6:45 pm
I am so glad I heard that here first.
In other news, don’t try to screw in the tv cable when you have just stepped from the shower! I’m just saying is all…
