Cute little Jack just wanted a bowl of popcorn. Being the independent kid he is he just decided to make it himself. He opened the bag of popcorn, poured it into the plastic bowl he usually eats it from and put it in the microwave for
12 minutes.
It wasn't too long before the microwave and the plastic bowl were protesting this experience. When the kids finally smelled smoke it was billowing out of the kitchen. Flames were rising out of the microwave and the cupboards and fridge were starting to burn.
After some quick thinking on their part, the kids ran for help from the maintenance and security people. They successfully put out the fire and carried out the burning microwave. One less appliance to sell before we leave the country..Thankfully nobody got hurt. Now we are just learning to live without the convenience of a microwave. Things could be worse..
