Our dining room light fixture is not working at all.  Flip the switch...nothing.

I asked the boys what happened.  Our house is only a year old.

Allegedly sparks were shooting out of the fixture.  I asked if it was possible that all of the bulbs were burned out.  I wanted to try it before I call the builder.

No, there were sparks.  Middle Boy is POSITIVE.

I took apart the fixture (now I am being ridiculous) and changed the bulbs.  Voila...it works!

I am relatively certain there were never sparks.  Maybe one of the bulbs blew, but there were no sparks.

Again...I never believer anyone.
