How Old Was You When You Became Interested In Electrics?

I was 7. I painstakingly removed 2 screws from a power socket with a small pair of scissors and then tried to unscrew the live in the same fashion.
This is how I became painfully became interested in them, how about you?

I think I was about 9 or 10 years old, I took a torch to pieces behind the settee, my Dad found me, and instead of telling me off, he said, put it back together and make it work, which I did. That is when I discovered I had a photographic memory (of sorts). I went on to pass the Radio Amateurs Exam (passed first time), built a transmitter, went into mobile Disco, self taught Arcade machine mechanics, computers, and finally teaching.
I am not a "qualified" electrician, but could teach the 18th edition on prior knowledge stretching back some 55 + years.

[Let me think]

8~9 years old, trying to get jammed toast out of toaster with a knife, while it was still on. All I remember was bright flash. Looking at knife which had a large nick in it and receiving a 'loving' slap from my mother for being so bloody stupid.

Those were the days.....
