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.

Once when I was a wee lass I wanted a warm hard-boiled egg at a hotel. I'm sure you know how this story ends

Well, when you leave a 4 year old unattended for, really any amount of time, things are bound to eggsplode.

It could have been worse. I had a friend who had the eggs explode when she took them out. She had 3rd degree burns on her chest and face.

how did a 4 year old manage to get eggs and put them in a microwave?

Well, I imagine they opened up the fridge, used their hands, grabbed the eggs, walked over to the microwave, opened it (maybe assisted by a chair they could climb to reach it) and put the eggs inside and pressed a button.

Better than wondering what would happen if you put 6 hamsters in the microwave. Silver lining?

Being curious is a sign of intelligence but that intelligence got me burned and cut and bruised many times when I was a kid - not to mention everything I broke in the process. I was never seriously injured and I am glad your son was not hurt but many kids are not so lucky. If your son is anything like I was, he will always find new experiments to try... Parents beware - and parents to set limits accordingly...
