8th May, 2009 - My First Brush With Danger

I remember being about 3 and sticking my fingers in a light bulb socket. I can still feel the crawl of the current under my skin and the jolted way my teeth felt. It is funny to sit here and think of something that happened nearly four decades ago, and for it to still stir the same physical feelings that it did all that time ago.

My first recognition that the world is full of Harmful Things must have burned itself into my brain. The neurons re-aligned and pathways formed that are still here today. How odd.
