the one with a good reason not to eat popcorn at night


I tried to make popcorn tonight and I nearly died. My bag of popcorn turned into a smoking bag of charcoal with lots and lots of smoke and almost a fire. I don't really need a late night snack that bad!!

The incident brought back images of the time my microwave DID catch on fire. I was 8 and my mom left me home alone with a potato cooking in the microwave. It was supposed to take care of itself and I didn't think anything of it, until I heard the smoke alarms. I went downstairs to a foot of smoke and a flaming microwave! It was sooooo scary. Luckily, we had a good neighbors who came and put out the fire. I don't know who would have helped me tonight.... yikes!

Jeers: to the nasty smokey smell
Cheers: to getting a lot of reading done
