Today, one of the kids I was babysitting tried to hard boil eggs using the microwave. You cannot hard boil eggs using the microwave. It makes a mess. This we have learned. FML

Today, after boiling eggs my whole life, I wanted to try a packaged hard-boiled egg for the first time. I'd never had a cold egg before, so I thought it would be a good idea to warm it up. Now, I'm cleaning out a billion pieces of egg shrapnel in the microwave. FML

Today, I learned the hard way that if you tell your child that they're old enough to cook their own food in the microwave, you have to make sure they're smart enough not to put the metal spoon in with the food as well. FML

Today, I left my daughter with a babysitter for the first time. When I came home, my microwave was ruined because they had attempted to heat cans of Play-Doh as a science experiment. FML

Today, I learned that I actually like my boiled eggs a bit softer than I usually make them. I also learned that an outwardly lukewarm egg, when bitten into enthusiastically, is perfectly capable of creating a volcanic eruption of boiling hot yolk all over your hands, clothes and kitchen. FML

Today, I was waiting for the pan to heat up so I could make myself scrambled eggs. Just then, my mom runs up to me, cracks an egg open on my head, and runs away laughing. I only had one other egg. FML

Today, after getting home from work late last night and feeling lazy, I'd put my leftover dinner in the microwave, spoon and all. I wake up to find one of the kids started the microwave and it blew up because of the metal spoon. FML

#7, you are my favourite person for today. lol. omg!! lol. on another note, what the hell kind of babysitter are you? why would you let them do that? I wouldn't let you babysit my kids anymore if/when I found out. If you let them do that, who knows what else you let them do...probably watch ****. YDI

I actually cover the egg in plastic (thin plastic foil) and use this method to cook my eggs (seriously). It rocks! And how **** is this person a bad babysitter because of that? It is science; and that works, bitches.

I'd have let them do it too, just to see how long it'd cook before it exploded. Then I'd make them clean it up. #7 - Please. Enough with the MOST overused Billy Madison quote ever. Every forum on the net has this quote because some halfwit thought it was a clever way to bash someone else. The post was not incoherernt, nor was it rambling. At least use a relevant quote. Grow up.
