When Eli does something .. he really knocks it out of the park.
For example... tonight. I'm in my bed and he's hanging out with me watching some t.v. He reaches over me to put something on my nightstand table. All of the sudden .. things just start falling off and like dominoes - the last to hit the ground was the lamp. For something that all seemed like it was in slow motion - there was no time to react.
The lamp hits the floor and flashes. Then everything goes BLACK. The entire room shuts down. No lights, no computer, no t.v. NOTHING.
We sit in darkness while I ponder what the hell I do next. As my brain works (yes, it's effort and takes longer than most to process) I realize he tripped the circuit breaker.
Well, it started snowing again tonight. Why would I care if it's snowing at this moment? Possibly because the STUPID circuit breaker is freaking outside .. on the side of the house. What retarded builder would not put it in the basement where it belongs??
So .. have to go out in the snow to flip it. Flashlight? Nope can't find one of those. We have to realign the planets to come up with one. That doesn't work. Batteries? Where could batteries be? Jackson takes them from a toy ... VIOLA ... LIGHT.
I got my snow gear on (it's 9:30 pm) and flipped the stupid outside breaker. (As I walk back in I am seriously contemplating the idea that men aren't really needed)
Back in - power up in my bedroom.
ALL BECAUSE A LAMP WAS KNOCKED OVER ... (by Eli - not that it matters WHO actually DID it .. )

That's weird... I think Eli has some kind of supernatural electric current.
