I did that as a kid only I used one of my Mom's big ol' bobby pins. Hurt like an SOB. I will say that I only did it once so the lesson must have taken.
I did something like that when I was about that age. Grandpa unplugged the TV and one of the prongs was left stuck in the outlet. Wanna guess which li'l dumbass Okie tried to pull it out? I had an afro for 3 days afterwards.
I was doing electrical work for almost 40 years before I retired. We always said if you didn't get your ass lit up at least once a day, you were doing something wrong (like not getting any work done). Electricity is a great but unforgiving teacher. Probably why my nerves are shot now.
I hope the little shit was grounded really well!! Maybe barefoot on a damp concrete floor.

Stuck a freakin' tweezers in an outlet when I was 3. Didn't have fingerprints till I was about 16. Still couldn't get away with anything, though.
