Winny and I lived in a house that ran on static electricity.

Summary

This quote humorously illustrates an unconventional living situation where the narration states that their house "ran on static electricity." It means that in order to use certain household appliances like the blender or to cook on the stovetop, individuals had to generate static electricity through actions like rubbing balloons on their head or quickly pulling off a sweater. The quote highlights the unique and comical measures one might have to take in such an electrically peculiar environment.
