Our daughter has been getting into flipping light switches the last week or so. She can carry her chair to a switch, stand on it, and flip the switches. And she loves it!
A couple of weeks ago, we had an enormous fan installed in our ceiling, and for various reasons we don't want Evadel to turn it on. So now there's a switch plate with three switches, and she is not allowed to flip any of those switches. We had to take her around the house last night and show her all the switches she could flip, and then we reminded her of the one set of switches she can't flip.
It was a sad reminder of the futility of prohibitions dating all the way back to the first prohibition. It felt very formulaic: "You are free to flip any of the switches in the house, but you must not flip the switch of the knowledge of good and evil . . ."
