Electricity and Water

Jordan learned a valuable (and scary lesson) lesson about touching electrical appliances when your hands are wet. The kids were outside throwing water balloons at each other when Jordan came in for some reason. He went in this bedroom and turned on the light and the next thing we know he is screaming and things are falling (him and the light). At some point the kids had broken their lamp in the bedroom, when he touched it with wet hands it caught on fire in his hand. Luckily he was able to drop it, but not before getting burned. When we got to him, his hand was black and the only thing I could think of is that he had 3rd degree burns all over his hand. We went into the kitchen and started water running over it quickly. By now we could tell that the blackness was just soot from the fire. He does have a large half dollar size burn on the palm of his hand and a large blister on the side of one finger. Luckily nothing else, but he learned a valuable lesson about water and electricity.
