As I returned home, I opened the door and a horrid burning smell instantly penetrated up my nostrils straight to my brain telling me something went wrong. I have burned things before and it has smelled really bad. This smell, was 10 times worse than anything I have smelled before!
So it turns out that while Papa was downstairs on the computer, Zaquel decides he needs another bag of microwave popcorn. So he gets it out and takes off the plastic, (which is pretty smart of him) then he puts it in the microwave for 20 something minutes! I know how he operates the buttons he just randomly pushes them until all the spaces are filled up and then pushes start!
So he leaves as his popcorn cooks, cooks, cooks and cooks!
FINALLY, Isabel starts smelling the burnt popcorn and then the smoke detector starts to go off. All the while Papa is playing his little computer games with the sound obviously too loud! Isabel attempts to get her Papa and he finally comes up stairs to find this in the microwave!
So Papa then discovers that the microwave is the same color as the popcorn BLACK!
Just look at what it did to the bag!
He then has to spend FOREVER cleaning it up! The microwave was white and now the inside is stained yellow. Nice! He knew I would be home soon and that he had better clean-it up soon or else...I am sure nothing like this could ever happen when I was home! (Knock on wood)
Much to my dismay, I am sure we will be pricing out microwaves really soon!
I do hope our Papa has learned to actually supervise the kids while I am gone!
I do have to say that this little episode tops Papa's mishap in college. Let's just say that the cooking time for eggs is not 10 minutes! And you don't leave them in the shell while they are cooking. He blew off our microwave door and eggs were splattered everywhere in our little kitchen! It too occurred when I was gone... to work that time!
Anyone want a snack?
Oh No! The smell of burnt popcorn is the worst. I can't even imagine what burned for 20 minutes popcorn would smell like!
ReplyDeleteBut, have fun microwave shopping!
Like father like son. We still might have our old microwave at the Watkins that you can have if you are interested. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! The smell of burnt popcorn doesn't go away very easily. I'm sorry about the microwave too.
ReplyDeleteso funny! Hope the smell has since passed!
