Blond Moment, and Not Mine (from June 11, 2011)

So I'm trying to teach my almost 11yr old to cook. I had him open a big can of ravioli and told him to put it in a pot and turn the stove on medium. I went to the living room to give him some "confidence" that I trusted him and told him to call me if he needed me. Just a few moments after I sat down, Jaydn yells, "Mom, I need you!" I go into the kitchen to see the problem. Jaydn has decided to skip the step of putting the ravioli into a pot. Instead he put it into four PLASTIC bowels. Each bowel was placed on a burner. And the burners were on. Ravioli mess everywhere!!! The only good thing is that Jaydn now knows that PLASTIC + HEAT = FIRE. Luckily there was no fire this time. *Shakes head* I think my son is one of the smartest people I know. But he had a real dumb moment, lol.
