Anecdote #42: Once in first grade (I think this is the last of the first grade A-dotes), during story time, I found a lone staple stuck in the carpet. Since first grade was so much about putting things where they belong I decided this one little staple would fit very well into the socket slot. I slipped the perfect little piece of metal into the perfectly sized electric socket, which caused a large pop followed by a mini explosion of sparks and smoke. A few days later Smokey the Bear came to my class and gave us an entertaining program on fire safety. Only I can prevent Forest Fires!
