One of the presents Corwin got for his birthday was an electrical experiment kit. Corwin was playing with it in front of the TV when he suddenly started screaming. I ran over to see what the problem was. Corwin had one end of pair of alligator clips in his mouth. I presumed that he was unable to remove it because he was getting shocked too badly to get at it (even though the kit is powered by a couple of AA batteries). However, it turned out that Corwin had in fact clipped it to the inside of his cheek. I managed to reach in and open the jaws of the clip enough to get it out without hurting Corwin too badly. I didn’t have the heart to ask him how he’d managed it.
Perhaps I should review the presents allowed. Might I suggest that we stay away from marbles?
