My siblings and I would play a game by running around the house flipping light switches on and off. My parents kept getting irritated and finally told us that each time we flipped the switch, it would cost 10 cents. So to save 10 cents for our parents, we'd flip the switch on and never turn it off. They didn't realize this until a few months later and had to explain they actually paid for the time the light was on and not the actual flip of the switch.
