The start of something good

In the beginning there was light, and Dad yelled at everyone to turn it off!  Nevertheless the light continued to burn until Dad himself finally conceded and turned it off himself.  Time passed and all elements of pursuasion were employed to encourage others to participate in the ritualistic extinguishing of the light, but every effort failed and nature was established with an unchangable law; So henceforth and forevermore Dad's were gifted with the unique talent and power to manipulate switches of all forms and factors in the 'off' direction.  An act that throughout time has eluded and continues to elude anyone who doesn't answer to the title of Dad.  So to all you Dad's I salute your power as well as your futile pursuit of passing it on to those in your household- for certain as it is that no light will ever be turned off which you do not turn off yourself, it is also a physical law of nature that you must continue to scold, yell, plead, and even bribe in vain attempts to convey your singular gift.
