Kids, Don't Try This at Home!

The Mr. enjoys eating a couple of boiled eggs for breakfast most mornings, so I happily fix them for him. Yesterday, I figured I would be smart and boil four eggs instead of two and keep the others for the next day. All he would have to do is just peel the shells and warm them up in the microwave. Fast forward to this morning, when he placed the peeled eggs in the microwave and went back to reading the newspaper. It wasn't long before we heard a loud EXPLOSION. Upon opening the microwave door, we discovered little bits and pieces of egg EVERYWHERE!! Apparently you're not supposed to put boiled eggs in the microwave. Who knew? I think a warning label might have been nice. What a mess to clean up!! It makes me wonder if there's a conspiracy among microwave manufacturers to purposely withhold all warning labels just for fun.


P. S.
It didn't help that at the time of the explosion, The Mr. was reading an article about terrorists who are lurking in suburban neighbourhoods. Funny!

I just had a mental picture of Dad diving under the kitchen table at the sound of the explosion.

That's so funny. One time when I had decided to boil some eggs I completely forgot about them and we went out for a walk. On our way home as we got closer to our house we could smell something funny...I quickly remembered the eggs on the stove. But when we walked into the house (which stunk) we found the eggs had exploded everywhere...all over the ceiling...into the livingroom...everywhere. It was really bad...I even had to throw the pot away.
