A friend of mine and I had a conversation about nightlights, and how a Jewish member of their household felt that one was unnecessary to acquire, in spite of the fact that they have two young children.\u00a0 Ultimately, I\u2019m in the camp that believes that nightlights aren\u2019t just something to help kids cope with the fear of darkness through their formative years, but simple aids in the middle of the night to be able to see where one is going, regardless of age.<\/span><\/p>\n Somewhere in the conversation, I reminisced about the nightlight I had growing up, which was this little Bugs Bunny clip-on head.\u00a0 All throughout my life, the nightlight was simply referred to as, translated from Korean would be \u201cbunny light.\u201d\u00a0 As far as I was concerned, bunny light was\u00a0the<\/em>\u00a0phrase that translated into \u201cnightlight.\u201d\u00a0 I vaguely remember a time when the original light fixture died at one point, and I said that we needed to get another bunny light; fortunately, the Bugs head fit like a glove to that as well, and bunny light lived on.\u00a0 During one of the several moves my family endured, the Bugs head went missing for a period of time, and regardless of its absence, the light itself was still referred to as bunny light, and went into the upstairs hallway sans Bugs head.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Naturally, I went through the childhood phase where I was afraid of the dark, and bunny light was what got me through it.\u00a0 Even as I got older, bunny light remained in the house, because my dad habitually woke up in the middle of the night and peeked his head into my sister and mine\u2019s bedrooms.\u00a0 Bunny light wasn\u2019t so much of a tiny light to fend off the fright of nighttime, but simply a useful tool for people in my family to have the ability to see at nights.<\/span><\/p>\n The above photo was taken the last time I was at my old home.\u00a0 My dad still has the light, and still has it plugged in, in the upstairs bathroom.\u00a0 There aren\u2019t a lot of windows in the upstairs rooms, and the hallway itself is completely shielded from any windows.\u00a0 There\u2019s no chance for the occasional full moon light to creep into that hallway, meaning when night falls, the hallway is pitch black.\u00a0 Except it\u2019s not, because of bunny light\u2019s soft tiny glow emanating from the bathroom, so that anyone who needs to use the bathroom at night, or like in my case, sneak quietly back into the bedroom without turning on the light and waking my dad, is vastly more easier to do.<\/span><\/p>\n One of these days, I\u2019m bringing bunny light back home with me, and plugging it into my own home.\u00a0 At this point, bunny light is a family heirloom, and I want it back when my dad doesn\u2019t need it anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A friend of mine and I had a conversation about nightlights, and how a Jewish member of their household felt that one was unnecessary to acquire, in spite of the fact that they have two young children.\u00a0 Ultimately, I\u2019m in the camp that believes that nightlights aren\u2019t just something to help kids cope with the … Continue reading An heirloom, as far as I\u2019m concerned<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[129,15],"class_list":["post-39956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-nostalgia","tag-og"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39956"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39956\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39958,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39956\/revisions\/39958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
