Today, while I was in the shower, my 4 year-old son wondered what would happen if he put 6 eggs in the microwave. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 5-year-old son put my car keys in the microwave thinking that they would 'warm up' my car. FML
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 was sitting on the couch watching TV when I felt something crack on my head. My 6 year-old son had just smashed an egg into my hair. When I asked why, he said, "Mom does it for TikTok." This is how I found out that my wife has been "pranking" him for likes, and thinks it's hilarious. 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, my eight-year-old microwaved our thermometer to see if the temperature would change. FML
Today, my 8-year-old son microwaved his pet hamster. FML
Today, my shower is being renovated so I washed my hair in the kitchen sink. I put my two year-old son on the counter next to me so I could keep him close. As I was rinsing out my hair, my son started playing with the light switches. He flicked the garbage disposal by accident. FML
Today, my 7-year-old son proudly announced that he had laid an egg during the night. I checked. He'd simply shat the bed. FML
Today, I found out you really can burn down a kitchen by boiling an egg. FML

Sounds like a great opportunity to teach him to clean a microwave.

Even boiled & peeled eggs explode in the microwave. Pain in the ass to clean up.

Maybe you should put your microwave somewhere where a 4 year old can't reach it.

Depends how high. Four year olds are about a meter (or a yard or three feet or around 20 upright eggs or whatever unit you prefer to use) in height. add that to the height of a chair. All above that is very hard (though not impossible) to reach for them. Or you could just put a child lock on the blasted thing.

Learning physics the hard way.

At least it wasn't aluminum foil, or a gremlin. Those buggers are a mess to clean up!

Everyone knows you shouldn't shower, or do anything in the bathroom when you have kids around that age. Things will explode.

Nope. You're not allowed to have privacy in the bathroom until they're at least 10. #parenting

It's always a risk taking a shower with mobile kids. You never know what's going to happen when you are in there. If they weren't at school or taking a nap, I probably looked like I was on speed in there! lol

Why does a 4 year old have access to Eggs and a Microwave.

My bet is that he is not suppose to... It's amazing how moving a chair around can give you access to all sorts of new things!
