content: At least she'll be safe if she decides to investigate what a power socket is...someone I know tried that with a knitting needle and a cork screw when he was three and remembers that moment quite clear to this day.

content: You never forget your first "Bzzzt" experience, do you? I can even tell you the make of the socket and where my mum was when I started crying after the event. That cork screw is still somewhere in my mums kitchen.

It's trying to get the meter back that's dangerous. Imagine a three year old with a U1272A flailing her arms holding the leads and screaming "It's MINE - it's MINE!"Amazing how fun the continuity tester is

content: The top says "i love dad, he's my hero"Not that she picked it!Rest assured she wasn't playing with it for long, infact it was only while i took the pic (luckily i heard it beep when she turned it on!) Hopefully Mammy won't leave it where she can get it in future, and i won't leave it where Mammy can get to itI haven't zapped myself. I remember years ago i sat sat on teh edge of the bumpers/dodgems and i dropped my keys, when i leaned forward to pick them up i got a right shock.
