Hey, LS, this story reminds me of my electrical shock treatment. I can't use the excuse that I was only 5 or 6, because it happened in 1974 when I was 30 years old.
We had just moved into a real old cottage on the coast. It was a total dump. We tore the place apart and completely "re-charmed" it. I mean, COMPLETELY, down to the electrical outlets in the walls. I removed the plates and found millions of cobwebs. Ew. Clever me, I took my screw driver to remove the cobwebs, accidentally touched the electrical wires, and BAM!
The shock actually threw me across the room and slammed me up against the far wall. What a jolt....
But we sure ended up with nice, clean electrical outlets!
