Adults are required to know certain simply things such as not using a hairdryer in the bathtub, why we earth, and what happens when too much current goes in one arm, out the other, through the heart. Not knowing why that was so dangerous and not knowing what makes that not possible is a requirement of being a responsible adult. There are certain things everyone is expected to know such as not cleaning something with gasoline inside a house.
Same applies to the refrigerator - why it must be connected to a three wire receptacle. Why a two wire receptacle is not acceptable anywhere - especially when kids are in the house.

Yeah. Well, I was a kid, and it was kinda fun. I know better today. And my dad didn't know about it until we told him. And then he fixed it that day. Himself.
