The Power Company Fixes All of Our Lights, Right?

Last week our power went out for several hours as the result of a storm. This is the first time that our power was out for an extended period of time when Ethan has been old enough to be aware of what was happening. He asked me to fix the lights a few times, but I explained to him that moms and dads cannot fix it when all of the power to the house goes out. I told him that we'd have to wait for people from the power company to fix it. When our power was restored he said, "The power company fixed it!"
This morning I opened the refrigerator door and found that the fridge light had gone out. Ethan noticed it too and said, "The power company people will fix it mommy". Struck me as funny. Wouldn't it be nice if they showed up at your door and replaced lightbulbs too?
