How many Harris men does it take to change a lightbulb?

Me, 3:26 pm:…I’m going to send you a pic in a moment and then call for advice if you have a moment.

Son, 3:27: Ok!

Me, 3:34: This is my hallway light, which I need to change the bulb in to a higher wattage.



Me, 3:34: I know I have seen these type lights before and the way you access the bulb is by screwing off that knob thing, right? It won’t budge, I think it is rusted in place. Unscrewing the dome does not seem right and I tried in any event. The question is, do I take a pair of pliers, which I have, to the knob, or what do you suggest?

Son, 3:35: Is fitted to be used with a screwdriver? Looks like it has grooves on the tip that may fit a Philips head - but I can’t tell from the pics 

(So I send him others)

He came over and voila the one dim bulb was replaced with two very bright LED’s. He left and we both went back to different things and forgot about this.
 

Five hours later I went into my camera roll to delete useless photos and deleted a few of these when I noticed something that hadn't registered before:

Me, 8:38 pm Jesus, I didn’t notice how much that thing looked like a breast nipple.

Son, 8:41: Totally! This style is actually called a boob light πŸ˜‚ 

Me, 8:42: ARE YOU SERIOUS! Omg.

Son, 8:43: I didn’t know either but when you first posed the problem to me today I googled something like “how to unscrew boob like light” and I realized boob light was the correct terminology lol

Me, 8:43: 

                                        Facepalm

Son, 8:44:


Son, 8:44 Ha!

Me, 8:45: Holy shit. When I was talking to you about it I called it a “knob” didn’t I? The nipple association never entered my mind until I went back into my photos just now.

Son, 8:45: Haha I think you did call it a knob πŸ˜‚ 

Me, 8:46: Pre-baby, post-baby: so bad, SOOO bad.

Son, 8:46: But pretty funny haha
