Ok a warning to all of you who THINK your child knows NOT to stick anything in an outlet...remind them again.

Yesterday after school Rylee can home, went to the bathroom and came up a little "shaken-up". Her words - "The thing in the bathroom went POP, and it really scared me and I'm scared to go in there and wash my hands." - I'm thinking its the drain faucet that made a weird noise. I investigate. I find nothing. She comes to the door and points to the outlet. - "NO, that's what did it" - Oh, that would explain the black burnt outlet.... Hum. thats weird. what would cause that. wow. I pause. then notice my tweezers laying on the floor. also burnt. Rylee seeing me make the connection blurts out "I didnt know it would do that!!!!" " I didnt KNOW!!"
Really, because I'm pretty sure that from the age of six months we have stressed the importance of NOT putting things in the plugs... Well, thats what I wanted to say. But her little tear streamed, panicked face stopped me. So, a big hug and checking out her hand and arm took its place. HOW she didnt get hurt I dont know..I took out the power in both bathrooms and garage. I am so thankful that shes ok..and pretty sure she wont repeat this one!
