Too Many Plugs in an Outlet! Team 1B

(Benjamin) " Oh look an outlet."

(Sophia) "Oh, hi, Benjamin! //BENJAMIN!// Stop overplugging that outlet!"

( Benjamin)   "Why should I care, I am charging my toys?"

(Sophia) Because you can cause an electrical fire and even an explosion!"

( Benjamin)   "Oh whatever!! Can’t you leave me alone?"

(Sophia) "No I can’t, not until you stop overloading that outlet! You will be grounded and lose all your toys."

(Benjamin) "Nooooooooooooooooooooo! FINE! At least can I charge my DS?"

(Sophia) "Fine. Also ungrounded outlets that will not protect you from an electrical shock in the event of a short circuit."

(Benjamin) "Wow! I never knew that!

(Sophia) "This is also important because the extension cord is warm to the touch."

(Benjamin) "Where shouldn't extension cords run?"

(Sophia) "There should't be extension cords running through walls, under carpet or furniture, across doorways, or draped over heaters or equipment."

(Benjamin) "What else do I need to know?"

(Sophia) "You need to remember if you over plug an outlet it can cause an overloaded outlet can overheat."

(Benjamin) "Ok, I’ll remember all these rules to keep me safe."
