That's why before any children visit my house, I take all of the sockets out of the walls and leave the bare wires dangling from the receptacle. You want to charge your phone? Take this outlet and screwdriver. Oh, got a bit fried? Lesson one: check the breaker before doing electrical work, idiot.

The survivors go directly to trade school.

    That sounds like a lot of work. Just do like my parents did and buy a house that has all the electrical outlets red flagged and never fix them!

    Good times! My current rental has no ground for any of the outlets and refused to admit it was an issue. I had to put in GFCIs on every circuit to make sure I don't get killed by some random appliance.
