DISQUS

Interesting observation! My hypothesis is that babies love outlets for the same reason they love little ants crawling across the floor, cracks in the wall, etc. They are an intriguing -- even distracting -- interruption of the normal.

As to outlets being installed upside-down, I believe that it is normal to install an outlet upside-down only if the outlet is partially switched. E.g., if a switch in the room controls the bottom but not the top socket, then typically the outlet is installed upside-down as an indication of this fact. I don't know if this is a matter of building codes, but it does seem to be a very common practice.
