Crying over spilled milk??

Tuesday Maria called me at work in somewhat of a panic. The first thing she said was, "Carter about killed himself and burned down the house." Of course my body breaks into a nervous sweat, but then she tells me everything is okay. Here is the story.

Carter was playing with two quarters all morning. You know how little kids are when they have some money, they think they are the richest people in the world. Well they were playing around a outlet where the lamp plug was just kind of hanging in the outlet. Best we can guess is he dropped the quarter on the lamp plug resulting in the pictures below.

We figured he dropped it, if he was holding it I'm guessing he would have had a shock, especially after seeing the quarter.
There are two notches melted in the quarter where it hit the plugs.

And this is a picture of a spill Carter provided for Maria about 10 minutes after the quarter incident. She figured she might find some humor in some of this if she documented it. I am not sure it worked. :) We're about 100% sure there won't be a 5th Beasley child in the future.

And Maria took this picture of me exhibiting my Wii playing and fatherly skills. Outstanding!!
