Pet Peeve



What is more annoying to a parent than lights being left on. An illustration for Stories for Children demonstrates papa put out by children leaving lights on. His solution has been to remove all light bulbs leaving this little family to fend for themselves in the dark.

And we used to love it when the power went out and candles and lamps were everywhere. Nice lighting and detail in this one.
