Maura: So first we had a light bulb moment, and now what’s the second expression?
Harp: The next expression is to dawn on.
Maura: Right. To dawn on. And usually, you talk about something dawning on me or you, or a person. It dawns on someone.
Harp: Yes. And dawn is the time of day when the sun is about to rise and the sun starts rising for a new day.
Maura: So, it’s the same idea as a light bulb moment because there’s a sense of light. When the sun is rising, there’s a lot of sunlight and light really means knowledge or some brilliant idea. So when something dawns on you, it means that you have a new understanding or a new idea about something.
