The Wall Glow-Up
Bend string lights into the question, then get them to kill the lights.
“You LIGHT me up. HOCO?”
Tape a warm-white string light strand into HOCO letters across a wall in their room, their garage, or a fence they walk past after dark. Shape each letter with clear tape and small command hooks so the bulbs sit tight on the lines. You plug it in, wait for dusk, then get them to flip off the overhead light so the letters are the only thing glowing.

Step-by-Step Plan
