how many people does it take to change a lightbulb?

How many people does it take to change a second story lightbulb? 5. That's one to stand on a tall ladder, one to assist from the ground, one to scream from the couch in fear, one to direct the operations from a recliner and one to take a picture of it all going down.


We have a two-story living room, which is awesome....until we have to clean the fan or change a lightbulb....which is probably why our fan is really dirty and we waited until 3 or the 4 bulbs needed to be replaced.


We inherited a long pole with a suction-cup on the end of it from my mom a couple of years ago to help when we needed to change the light bulbs on our oh-so-ridiculously-tall-fan. Thankfully, we haven't had to use it-----can you believe we've been in our house for over 3 years and haven't had to change the lightbulbs?!

Here's Josh trying to figure out how the pole works:

What can I say? Even regular household chores are exciting at our house.
