sad cookie story cooked up by benson

chirstmas time always brings a treat plate from sarah, my sil. we love, love, love treats! a little too much.

we keep the treats in the microwave since the pesky ants like to take an occasional stroll through the kitchen.

we also do responsibilties and chores during the chirstmas break, including 20 minutes of excersize everyday.

ben loves to time himself...on the microwave timer. he did it right but when the timer ended, he thought he needed to push a button to make it stop, like on the oven. start and stop both have that "st" and the beginning.

our smart microwave immediately started up. seconds later, i look over to see a fire in the microwave. plates with foil cover apparently shouldn't be microwaved.

i screamed (so unnecessary, that didn't help anything.) and immediately stopped the microwave, hoping the fire would burn out from lack of oxygen. it didn't.

so i grabbed the plate out and threw it in the sink. and soaked it.

sadly, even with my love of treats, i am unwilling to eat burnt, sogged ones.

lesson learned: eat dessert first, you might ruin it for later.
