New Year Bangs

Can we say electrical engineer?? Nicholas decided to bringing in January 3rd with a bang.. after church on Sunday while we were finishing getting dinner ready, all of the sudden Jon and I heard a bang and pop sound coming from the counter. As we turn to look, there is smoke coming from the telephone plug in the wall from where the pop/bang sound came from. Nic had the biggest OH NO look on his face, as Jon ran over to make sure there was no fire, he found the penny Nic slid in between the plug and outlet. Needless to say the penny and plug were melted, and Nic was ok. It did give us a good teaching moment for the kids on why we do not stick things in the wall outlets, and a good selling point for the wall outlets that have their own kill switches to the power.
