A guy I know, who went on to become a Master Electrician, used a fork.
My son used a nail after he pried the supposedly “child proof” cover off the outlet. I was in the next room but saw him sort of fly across the room and land on the stairs. He was unharmed. I have always believed it was his Guardian Angel in action. He certainly kept his GA on rapid response duty.
I used to tell him “when you grow up I hope you have a son just like you!” He does. He’s grown now and has 2 of the little guys. ;) One is just like he was. I have apologized to my poor daughter-in-law.
