Scarred & A Little Smarter

I didn't baby proof the house until we had child #5. I thought my older kids were smart enough to know better. When Lucas was born I made sure that I had all of the outlets covered up and we have never had a problem. Well, last Sunday at church Matthew decided that instead of listening to his primary teacher he would stick a bobby pin in the outlet. There was a loud pop and a flame feel to the floor. Then his class could smell his burning flesh. He now has 3rd degree burns on his thumb and index fingers. He will have nice scars on his fingers for the rest of his life and I hope he has learned a valuable lesson.

Oh My GOSH!! I bet that was a loud cry in the building! I guess they have to start babyproofing the church!! Glad he's OK. Hopefully he's learned to LISTEN the teacher...or else!!!

Ya, I heard he did that, I am glad he is ok... if he did not learn his lesson, then I don't know what will teach him.
