What to title this post...

So this past weekend we house sat for a family in our ward. They have 4 kids so it was more than house sitting but they are all 8 and older so it doesn't seem right to say babysitting... On Friday afternoon Brecken and mailey and I were all playing in the sun room off the main living room. All the sudden I hear a popping noise and see fire coming from a floor electrical outlet. I grab Brecken and Mailey and run for the fire extinguisher. I get back to the room and the fire is out (the circuit breaker flipped and the power went off). I asked Brecken what happened since my back was turned to him when this all happened and all he kept saying was "I'm sorry I peed in it". Brecken went pee in an electrical outlet!!! I was just shocked and amazed and thankful that he wasn't dead. I called Kaile at school who came right over and changed out the electrical box with a new floor socket and got the power back on. We think Brecken just thought the floor outlet looked like a fun place to pee... A small hole in the floor... Great for target practice? We honestly don't know what came over him other than he is just Brecken and 4 and a boy. So that's the story of how Brecken almost got electrocuted by peeing in an electrical outlet and how we almost could have burned down the house we were house sitting. Thankfully everyone and everything was ok. Brecken has a good guardian angel and we know that Heavenly Father is aware of us all. I doubt we will be house sitting again anytime soon:)

I think you should title this story
"Floor urinals" or "'target practice"
Whatever, it is a great story and will be a favorite. Remember to tell this one at his wedding breakfast!!

I just read this and I can't believe how blessed you are that all is well! He surely has a guardian angle watching over him as does Mailey?
