I have an experiment I need to finish, so let's try keep the responses as reasonable as possible.
Here is the situation: Your father is conducting a very important business meeting on the upper floor of your two-story house. It is late at night, and it seems that the meeting is starting to get somewhat "tense." (Tense, as in people are starting to raise their voices. Nothing violent, but it seems that business has come to a stand-still and things aren't as diplomatic as they should be.)
You're in the living room. The meeting is being held in the room directly above yours. You're watching TV, relaxing and trying to stay out of your father's business.
Unfortunately, a large light in the kitchen has went out. The kitchen is located next to the stairs, right next to the living room. The light is so high up that you have to get a step ladder to get to it. The only step ladder is, of course, located in the meeting room.
As you go up the stairs to the meeting room, you overhear your father and his associates becoming incredibly vocal and crude. Tension has clearly thickened. You remember that there are a bunch of sturdy objects that you could stand on in order to replace the bulb. You also recall seeing a bunch of generic candles in a box labeled "EMERGENCY."
What do you do?
