Landon's experiment with the electrical socket

So here was the excitement for today. I was getting the boys ready for school when I hear Landon's usual pounding on his bedroom door to get out except this time his scream was a little louder and more urgent so i send Braydon up to open his door. ( since we have to keep a child door knob lock to keep him in his room at night.) Braydon comes running down the stairs telling me that the light is not working and neither does the plugs he only knew this because the music box light was off. So i assume that a lightbulb is burnt out and the music box is unplugged, but i decide to check it out anyway. This is what i found. As I see this, Landon as serious as a 2 year old can be, sais, "MOM! BOKEN! YIGHT!
So there ya go a nice blown up socket. Landon thinks it is fun to pull the night light in and out of the plug and then put the cover back on it. well the cover had a metal bar that he put directly on the metal part of the plug that was part way plugged in and well you see it. Luckily Brandon put a safty ground breaker in the bedrooms just for this reason so if your children are like mine and put things where they don't belong the breaker flips saving your child from a terrible shock. Needless to say there was still a burnt spot but a safe little boy and no fire. Thank goodness! Yes this i'm sure is only the begining of Landon's future adventures since he is by far my most accident prone kid.
