This evening we were watching Dancing With the Stars in our room while Ben was watching Harry Potter in the living room. He came running in our room saying he saw a big flash over by the wall. It turns out he did perhaps the scariest thing he's ever done in his mischievious life.....he put a penny between a night light and the outlet cover, causing a big flash. We ran out to the LR and Rich took a couple of plastic utensils and pulled the night light out, causing lots of sparks and electrical flashes. SCARY! Ben was very upset and said it was 'an accident', but we all know it was his curiosity and lack of impulse control that led him to it. It melted the penny (which you can see at the bottom of the night light prongs). It makes my stomach hurt just looking at it!
