This story (as best as he and I can remember it) happened to a friend of mine a couple years ago. Fortunately he saved the evidence.
My friend goes into a room (I believe it was in the basement) and flips on the light switch. Nothing. He makes his way to the circuit breaker and finds one of them tripped. He tries to flip it back but it just flips back off.
He starts unplugging everything on the circuit. Finally, he comes to the culprit.
It's name is Indiglo Montoya. It killed your light switch. Prepare to die.
How can a nightlight short out an outlet? Well, I don't think they can. But maybe Queen Elizabeth II can.
Notice how the coin has welded itself to the prongs. Apparently, my friend's kids were down in the basement, throwing money around in some kind of game and one landed perfectly behind the nightlight, slid down and shorted out the circuit. The only question left is which went out faster? The lights or the kids (out of the room)?
The moral of the story is if you like lights, don't have kids.
