Wondering what mothers day breakfast will bring...

Thumper woke up this morning and decided to make herself breakfast (without waking up DeepSpice or me for help). So far so good.

She decided to have weetbix. No problems.

She decided to have warm weetbix. OK.

She put the bowl containing weetbix and just a splash of milk into the microwave.

A few minutes later we were woken by Thumper yelling "Mum, Dad! There's smoke coming out of the microwave!". DeepSpice stumbled out of bed, following the smell of smoke to the kitchen, where sure enough smoke was pouring out of the microwave.

"I only pressed the button two times". Yep, that'd be the auto-start-and-run-for-one-minute button.

I hear DeepSpice saying "Two minutes is a long time for weetbix Thumper, it only needs 30 seconds."

"Oh, but I don't know how to do 30 seconds" replied Thumper.

Once DeepSpice had carried the smoking microwave outside and we had run around opening all the doors and windows (and moved the couches outside to air too!), Thumper asked if she could please have her warm weetbix now?
