When I was about 4 yrs. old we lived in an upstairs apartment that had a porch. Every night in the summer I would sit on my Grandmother's lap and as the street lights came on she would tell me that the squirrles turned them on. Most times I would see squirrles running along the phone lines so I believed her for quite a few years.
