 lisa trying to lift liv high enough so she can plug in the bug zapper.  but what we really need is an 18-yr-old whipper-snapper.  zach was standing by watching and pulled over a footstool and asked us why we didn't just use that.  hysterical!  wanna know the most logical way to accomplish something?  just ask a 7-yr-old ;)
