The image shows three creatively designed night lights, each in a different style. On the left, there is a night light shaped like a McDonald's french fry container with a yellow "M" logo and the words "open 24 hours." Light shines from behind, resembling fries with golden rays. In the top right, there's a faucet-shaped night light with a blue handle and a glowing blue light bulb that resembles water dripping from the faucet. In the bottom right, there's a small lava lamp night light with red wax blobs floating inside a silver base, emitting a warm glow.

Check out these quirky night lights!
The words "night" and "light" are so old the Oxford English Dictionary just lists "Old English" as the date of first use.
"Night light" goes back to 1648 in English, but the first use seems to be in a Dutch book, and from that, and I learned two fun things about Dutch:
1. "Groot" means "large."
2. "Woordenboek" means "dictionary" (word book).
