I guess Josh thought that our morning was going just a little too quietly, because he certainly livened things up! He made some waffles in the toaster oven, and rather than "toast" them, he turned the oven to "bake" and then left it on after his waffles were done. I'm embarrassed to say that the thing is pretty disgustingly dirty and hasn't been cleaned out in a while. What resulted was the thing catching fire, and setting off quite a show around here! Josh calmly walked into the living room to announce that the smoke detector would probably be going off in a few minutes, then walked back in the kitchen to watch the thing burn! I was my usual calm and collected self and rushed around screaming like a lunatic to get the thing unplugged from the wall, and put the fire out. I guess that we will be headed to Wal-Mart to price toaster ovens today. We've had that one for a long time, and it has served us well. Let's all take a moment to mourn its passing.

aaahhh! Now I get Barry's comment on Dawn's blog... haha I can't believe he just said the smoke detector is about to go off and then went back to watch it burn! I guess it's a good thing you were there!
Moment of silence observed! Gotta love a good toaster oven!
