dangerous...

so, while we were trying to get the tree uncrumpled from being in the box for a year, Mom and the girls were busy making little cookies in the Easy Bake Oven. I would go in and set the timer on the microwave for them when we'd put the cookie in to bake (you gotta love something that can be baked by the power of a lightbulb!). Well, I guess I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have, and when I set the timer for 11 minutes, I must have actually set the microwave to COOK for 11 minutes...now - for you to truly appreciate this, you must know that we keep EVERYTHING in our microwave because of Dan and Maks. They will steal things off of the kitchen counter, so our microwave was chock full of a loaf of bread, some french bread, a pan of brownies (covered in aluminum foil), a box of donuts, and who knows what other treats...I think perhaps 6 minutes had passed before Jon noticed that the microwave was actually RUNNING...not the timer. Things were not good in there. Seriously not good. Melted plastic all over bread. I think we pretended the brownies were okay and ate them anyway. Everything else was garbage bound. The Easy Bake Oven cookies were delicious. That's the most important thing.
