Tavernertodler told us that he poured water on his lamp yesterday night

[Taverner]

I have no clue WTF was going through his head, but he tells us that it stopped working once he poured water on it. Talk about post-facto heart attack - FAAAAACK!

Now I have to worry that any moment he might electrocute himself....

1. Oh yikes!

THAT kind of stuff is why I had gray hairs by the time I was twenty-three.

Once when my oldest spawn was in diapers, he crapped a push pin.
I felt bad, but had he been potty trained, I'd never have had a clue he ingested it.

Who knows what they do that we never find out about...

:scared:

2. When I was 7, I cut the electrical cord off of a device, shorted the black, white, and green cables

together, and plugged it in. The ensuing spark and blowing the master fusebox did strike my parents' ire.

I've never been good with electricity.

6. Electric

And that was 5 years ago? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi: :hi: :hide: :hide:

3. Cap all of your electrical outlets NOW, and keep paper clips away from the kid!

5. They are capped

He knows not to do it too - but no desklamp for him anymore.

4. I remember, as a toddler, I had a fascination with

the sensation created by holding a penny close to the electrical outlet.

I'm pretty sure that's why I'm so screwed up. :crazy:

Redstone's right about capping all the sockets. :hi:

7. When I was a little kid

I licked a hot light bulb for some stupid reason. Burned my tongue badly.
