Two "happenings", one when I was about 5-6 years old. It seemed perfectly reasonable to me that reversing the battery connections in my Mums Perdio radio would turn it into a transmitter, the radio survived. Then when I was about 7-8 I tried charging a capacitor straight from the mains having no idea that it wouldn't work, luckily the plug had a 3A fuse (which blew unspectacularly) but I did at least have the good sense not to touch the bare croc clips on the other end. Numerous other events which had nothing to do with electricity but it's a wonder I survived when I look back on them.
