My niece (Sasha) & nephew (Grey) are down for a few weeks off & on this summer and have been spending part of the time at our house & part at Mom & Dad's house. Sasha will be 7 this month & Grey is 4 1/2. The school Sasha goes to has them do homework during the summer so they don’t forget things before school starts so to help both of them with their counting, we went room by room in the house and counted every electric plug outlet and every light switch. When Jerry & I looked at this house to buy in January, one of the reasons I liked it was all the plugs, I never realized how many we had until we counted them to get the child safety plugs for them. There are 124 plate covers (that could have plugs or light switches or phone jacks, etc.). 95 of those are outlets (190 plugs) and about 51 are light switches (the rest are misc. tv, phone, etc.). That’s a LOT of plugs and switches!!!! That doesn't even include the plugs & switches on the porches or in/around the garage.
When Sasha was getting ready to go to sleep tonight she said, “Aunt Anna, will my cousins be shipped here in a box?” I told her, “no, we would have to drive a long time (the kids we are looking at are in another part of the state) to go pick them up and bring you home in the car”. She said, “Oh good, a kid wouldn’t like to be shipped in a box, even if you poked holes in it so they could breathe”. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in little kid's heads...lol.
