The other day Mini-man (7) was unloading the dishwasher while
I was making some tea. I put my cup in the microwave (which is right across
from the dishwasher) to heat the water, and Mini-man jumped back, declaring very
seriously, “Don’t stand near the microwave while it’s going, or else you’ll get
hypothermia.”
He was referring to the fact that we try not to stand too near
the microwave to avoid the radiation, but got his terms a bit confused.
Or, for those "alternate ending" people out there, our microwave delivers extreme doses of ice and freezing air, so much so that our home becomes a sub-zero arctic ice storm until Superman comes in and vaporizes the microwave with his laser vision.
