The Microwave incident

I was running late one Sunday morning when my grandson, who had spent the night, said,

" Grann, why do I not have any clean underwear to put on?"

So, I hand-washed the pair of underwear that he had taken off and threw them in the dryer.

I went to check on them; they were almost dry, but around the waistband, they were still damp, so I popped them in the microwave.

I had seen other people dry clothes that way before, so I decided to do it myself.

I heard my grandson say, "Granny, I smell something funny."

I went to check on his underwear, and they were cooking!

I took them out of the microwave, let them cool, never taking the time to check if they were ok, and I told my grandson to put them on.

My grandson said,  

"Granny, something is scratching me."

Lo and behold, the microwave had burnt several holes in his underwear, and the elastics were burned to a crisp.

I tried to cut away all the crisp parts from his underwear, but by the time I finished, there was nothing left for him to wear.

My grandson said, 

"Granny, I can wear my thermals (long johns) to church. "

I said," Put them on, and off we went to church."

The moral of this story is a microwave is for cooking food, not UNDERWEAR!!!!!!! LOL

I was having a blond morning!!!!!!!!!!
