I'm pretty sure that's it. The place is only 11 years old and above code requirements, so I doubt there's anything seriously wrong. I probably pulled off the button when I slathered the outlet with painter's tape and just didn't notice earlier.
I'll probably just have dad do it. He'll be up next weekend anyhow to check on my brother. Oooh! If I time it right, I could leave BT alone with my dad and the outlet and take my mom to the super cool yarn store.
