An angel was watching over Aiden...

This is the electrial outlet that Aiden stuck the key in. The metal is burned and there are holes where the key was touching. The corner was chipped out. The carpet was also charred.


This is the key he stuck in the outlet. It is burned on the top and bottom. The metal is chipped out and does not fit into the ignition of the car anymore! The ring next to the key is also charred.


We had quite the experience today and lessons were learned by both the boys. Aiden loves to play with my car keys. He plays with them and pretends that the keys are people. He makes them talk to each other. Today he was doing this as he was sitting on the steps. I was listening to his sweet voice as he was talking to the keys and making them talk to each other. All of a sudden I saw a bright flashing light and heard a zapping sound. Then there was screaming and a thud. I ran over to the stairs and Aiden was against the wall. He had taken one of the keys and stuck it in an electrical outlet. I picked him up and he held on to me so tight screaming. Jamma turned off all the power and we got the key out of the outlet. Aiden held on to me for at least a half hour crying, clenching his fists as tight as he could. We checked him over and didn't see any entrance or exit marks on his body. We didn't see any burns. After taking the advice of friends and the nurse line, we took him into the ER just to have him checked over. After seeing the electrical plate and keys, the doctor decided that he wanted to do and EKG and some monitering on Aiden. He was amazed at the amount of current that went through the keys and plate and was even more amazed that Aiden was not hurt at all. He was happy and normal in the ER. When asked if either of the boys will stick things in outlets again they both respond, "NO!!!" We are so thankful that Aiden is alright!!! He had an angel watching over him!
