Confused Conservationism?

From Miss E the other day:

E: "Dada! You left the water running!!"

Him: "I know, I'm trying to thaw out a turkey for supper at Grammy's, so I'm putting it in warm water"

E: (appearing disturbed and exasperated) "Well......you can't WASTE the water.......the lights will all burn out" (as she waves and looks to the ceiling).

So at least she *kind of* understands that we don't want her to leave the water running and to turn the lights off when not in use.
