When I was about seven, I read books at night when I was supposed to be
sleeping, by the light of a night-light. The problem was that the
night-light wasn't very bright. So what did I do? I attached the
night-light to an extension power cord, and held one end of the extension
cord with my teeth.
One night, some of my saliva got into the plug... I don't think I tripped
any circuit breakers, but the shock sure rang my bells.
How did we ever survive childhood?

OK, my daughter was going to replace the switch cover in her room. Next
thing we heard the pop of a fuse blowing and she jumped....... Ask her
what happened and she said a spark jumped and the lights went out. I
told her you can't do that with power on and "Don't be silly dad, I
turned the switch off."
I got her a bulletin from the hardware store about electrical safety
that afternoon.
