Don’t Overload Outlets
By: Teighton Clark
Hey! All you girls reading this, I want to send you a very important message.
It’s okay to want to curl your hair and dry it and straighten it and charge your
phone and all those things you want to do with electricity and outlets, but
you can’t do all those things at the same time. If you do I warned you, and
don’t say I didn’t. Electricity can be very dangerous, and when you use it the
wrong way very bad things can happen.
Like this.
Unless you want to start a fire I wouldn’t overload an outlet. You can look
pretty and be safe with electricity too. Just because the new cute boy, Chad,
at the power plant thinks pretty girls are amazing, that doesn’t mean deadbecause-of-fire girls are too.
Water and Electricity Don’t Mix
You know sometimes when you’re taking a bath or a shower and listening to
music your phone’s charging and everything’s going fine when all of the
sudden, a Justin Bieber song comes on. You’re like “Arghhhhhhh. Why does
the radio hate me?” You go to turn off the radio and… ZAP ZAP ZAP, you
get electrocuted. You can try to remember the following steps
1. Never use an electrical appliance near water
2. Never touch anything electrical with wet hands
3. Never leave an electrical appliance where it can fall into water while
taking a bath or shower
4. Never leave a dangerous electrical appliance around children
5. Don’t use extension cords in wet areas like swimming pools or any
water source not in your body
It’s best to be safe around electricity and water.
This is my safety message
