Never so stunning at my house, but I’ve been down the how to almost set your microwave on fire road.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I feel your pain, 4yo, fire and all.
If it makes you feel any better, I once set fire to a pair of socks while trying to dry them in the microwave.
Bwahahahaha!
Goodbye hotsocks…:)
Where is the “Do not try this at home” clause?
Oh my hat! Just one question – will this experiment have the same results if it’s a three-year old and two minute noodles?
Yip. Same;)
Oh yay! Just watched “The Girl who played with fire’ recently. I’m so into this stuff! The boys want to make a rain gauge on the weekend. Pfft! Wait till I tell them we can do this experiment instead!
Wow… Spectacular, I will NOT be trying that!!
