pyatClaire, our youngest, is a very adventurous child. She can climb a chainlink fence higher than my head. She does very willful and headstrong things. Sometimes, dangerous things.
For example, she knows never to play with lightbulbs and sockets.
Sometimes she forgets. Ah well. She unplugged a night light and removed the light bulb. No big worry. I'll put the light bulb back in, no problem. But... huh... it won't go in. Because there's a piece of metal in the socket. Good thing it was unplugged!
Uh... except it wasn't, originally. She removed the light bulb and jammed in an IKEA widget while the night light was plugged in. You see all the burn marks inside, and on the metal widget?
I'm buying a solar powered night light tomorrow morning.
