Austen's Electrical Incident

He should know better but he draped the chain of the tub plug over the prongs to the tv plug. Then he plugged it in. From across the room I saw a spark and a puff of smoke. Then Austen turned around, looked at me, and with eyes as big as quarters said, "I am sorry, mommy." The cord did not appear to work anymore so I was on my way downstairs to switch the fuse when he blocked me from leaving the room. He wanted me to aknowledge his apology and to hug me. The fuse was blown and upon switching it everything was in working order again. It is hard to stay mad sometimes.
