We have a two-wire system house that we are converting to GFCi outlets that the buyer wants. We connected all wires correctly aka the black and white with NO ground. When we stick two screwdrivers in the outlet it only pops the breaker in the box not the GFCi. Is that supposed to happen or is the GFCi supposed to pop also? We are just making sure we did this correctly before we finish it up.

Thanks!
