Connor’s been at it again! I posted the photos for Wordless Wednesday on my photoblog, but I feel that the whole story needs to be told.   Beauty told me the story this morning before I came to work, and I just had to take photos of the melted things before I threw them out.

We were very lucky.  Our guardian angels must have been watching over us yesterday.

Beauty was busy ironing, and Bradley was watching TV in the lounge (Bradley’s on holiday at the moment, so Beauty is looking after both of them in the mornings).  Beauty noticed that Connor was vey quiet and went looking for him. 

She found him playing upstairs in my bedroom, so she brought him downstairs.  She didn’t notice anything untowards.

Then, 2 hours later, after my mom had picked the boys up; she went back upstairs and saw smoke, and went to investigate. ***insert shocked eyes and rolling eyes emoticons here***

Now, I keep my hairdryer in the top drawer of a chest of drawers, but the cord is always still plugged in and turned on.  It’s never been a problem before, because he could never really reach it. 

 It looks like Connor tried to get the hairdryer out of the drawer to play with it.  He must’ve turned it on while reaching inside the drawer.  It must’ve given him a fright, because he closed the drawer and went to find something else to destroy.

By the time Beauty opened the drawer, most of the things in the drawer were melting.  The old camera has melted, but strangely enough still turns on.  Batteries have melted.  The mozzie machine has melted.  The plastic covering that housed the boys’ clinic books melted, and the paper is singed.  Most of the paper that was inside the drawer is black. 

Even the hairdryer’s nozzle has melted!!  It still works though, but the attachment doesn’t fit on the end anymore.

Which leads me to believe that she got there just in time!! My only question is why she didn’t hear the noise?  Was the TV that loud??

Needless to say, it’s switched off at the wall now!
