Two kids, a bunch of plastic plugs, some receptacles disconnected and a few receptacle guards that where basically child proof in use covers.
 
My kids were perhaps unusual because I saw them near a recep. once and explained to them the danger and they understood and never went near them.

I guess since I never did anything like that I didn't expect my kids to explore it either.

Are you serious? :roll:

At what age did you have this talk with them? :confused:

Perhaps unusual??

Kids or programable robots?
 
Bob...I did the same/similar as Dennis:
....told both kids (5/8) that they are to stay away....the older child doesn't question me, the little one wanted to know "Why?" I told her it gets hot like the stove (it doesn't, but she understands hot/cold ~ so you go with what you can).

No need to get insulting. I admit my kids were unusual in that sense but they seemed to always heed the warnings.

If it were an insult than you are right no need to be insulting. It was not.

I think if we start another poll :wink: we'd find that what you described is highly unusual for the average child. Even more so now that I know the ages.

Fine we'll leave it at that-- the programmable robot deal seemed a bit unnecessary.
 
Ok, no kids so no vote, but i do remember getting a nice shock from a receptacle as a kid.
 
when i was little i never stuck anything into the plugs. but i unscrewed an edison fuse and stuck my finger inside and got a pretty nasty shock at around the age of 4 or 5:D
