The author has a younger sister, and one incident that is still told to this day is the "hairpin incident in a wall socket". She suddenly stuck a U-pin for her hair into an electrical outlet at home and showed the spark to the family (of course, please do not imitate this incident).

She was already in elementary school at the time, and her argument was "because there was a hole in it. It was a great answer, reminiscent of "Because there is a mountain there. Perhaps people are creatures that are concerned about "holes.

But this incident could have been prevented if this had been available.


Found at the 300 yen uniform store "3COINS," these outlet covers are in the shape of animals. There are four types of covers (sheep, elephant, dog, and cat), three each, for a total of 12.


There are two prongs on the back, which are inserted into the outlet. They prevent the entry of dust and moisture that can cause fires. It takes a lot of force even for an adult to pull it out, but it is not equipped with a lock, so it may not be suitable for households with infants and toddlers. It also looks like it should not be used around water or for long periods of time.




I enjoy the feeling of having an animal at my feet, and it's good for pure interior design. And maybe it will at least be a deterrent against the desire for holes.
