Today, I had to teach my 16-year-old brother how to use a toaster. He thought you just plug it in and wait for it to "pre-heat." FML

Today, I stood there for 10 minutes trying to fix the toaster, until I called my brother to help me. I'd forgotten that it wasn't plugged in. He now thinks I'm a complete idiot. FML

Please explain
Today, I had to explain to my little brother that my pads were not in fact "big band-aids" and that he should probably remove them from his legs. FML

Today, there was a horrible smell in my kitchen. I tried to find the source, but failed and had to leave for the day. That night, my brother informed me that the smell was coming from a dead mouse stuck in our toaster. FML

I understand using a bagel after it's been in the toaster, but the toaster itself is taking it a little further...

Please give us an age here. If we're talking toddler, fine. School age and up? The only reason to stop him is liability.

Why explain it? Let him find out for himself, hopefully removing himself from the gene pool in the process.
