How many of you get a sudden urge to test a 9-volt battery? Come on, I know you tried it as a kid..... everyone did! Back in October, we had some bran-new 9-volts sitting on the table just asking for testing..........
The first victim, er tester:Scott thought he might want to give it a try, Dad assured him it wouldn't hurt........... but he was not to be convinced not even with a huge cookie as a reward.
He just chose the cookie! Smart boy.
Age is not necessarily wisdom. Cody doubled up the 9-volts for a better test, er shock! :)
Robby also wanted the double test. Such good test dummies we have!
Well rewarded!No harm was done to them in the testing of these batteries.... in fact last week Robby willingly and without provocation tested a 9-volt that was sitting on the counter.

You have some silly kids...not at all surprised at who did the test and who wouldn't even think about it! I remember when Brandon used to get us to do that. I have no idea how many times I was stupid enough to do it...and well...you too for that matter! Great pictures to go right along with it! Yay you!
Oh, and you need to change an age on your thing cause you now have a church dance aged girl IN THE HOUSE!!! hehehehe! Just what you need!
I hope my husband never decides to show my boys this one! They would probably end up biting the batteries or something!
I am still too scared it's going to hurt to do that experiment! :)
that's so funny - lovin' those cookies too!
I haven't done that in forever! Now I'm tempted to go buy some 9 volts to show my kids!
Thanks for co-hosting Carrie! This was perfect!!
Glad to know they are Ok! Looks like fun!
Hahahaha! Such good memories! I remember doing this all the time.
Now I totally want a HUGE chocolate chip cookie. haha!
My kids know that mom insists on using the multimeter! Comes with being an engineer. ;-)
♥ How funny!!! :)
Oh I remember my uncle doing it!
That's hilarious. I remember doing that as a kid, and I'm pretty sure my husband has done it recently!
Lol! My brother once made a "gift" by wrapping a box with foil and adding a pretty bow. The nine volt inside gave the unsuspecting girls in his class a shock when they exclaimed and picked it up off his pile of books.
Of course, he got me too!
Mr. J likes to get kids to do this.
I've stuck more 9 volt batteries to my tongue than I care to admit.
That probably explains a lot, now that I think about it.
Great to se you co-hosting this week!
Of course you know I meant "see"
At least you have one smart one there:) Though, yes, I can remember doing that myself.
I'd rather test a battery than accidentally test hotwire while working on fencing! I wish someone had offered me a cookie after I electrocuted myself!
Lol! I totally used to do that. Completely forgot about it.
Now that is good ole' family fun in my book. I remember my dad teaching us that...and i am sure we'll teach our sons!!
What a great photo story! I do remember testing 9 volts when I was a kid, and I think I only did it once. After that, I always asked my dad to test them. And he did.
Thanks for sharing and for co-hosting!
How funny! I remember doing that when I was a kid!
hey hey... congratulations for being the co host for this week...!
I HAVE NOT try to do such things. I might will... :D
My son does this all the time. Too funny! I'd take the cookie, but wouldn't test, lol.
Very electrifying - with lots of ZAP!!! And funny, too. Thanks for a laugh!
This was really funny! ;-)
LOL! Oh, my goodness..that brings up so many memories of childhood. My sister tried to convince me to swallow change because it would double inside and come out as more. Well more did come out but not money..ewww. Sorry that just triggered that memory. Hmmmm human ATM..now that's one for science!
Those cookies look good. I notice that only the boys are crazy enough to test the batteries ;)
