So, my step-son gets up last night at 11:30 to make a snack. I was in bed, Alex was in bed, all the other kids were in bed. I get up this moring to put in my oatmeal in the microwave, and it is black!!! the whole microwave BLACK!!!! Upon further investigating I find the metal remains of a clothes pin spring. When I asked what the Hell happened, of course no one knows. About an hour later I get the truth. Little Alex wanted to see what would happen if he put a clothes pin in the microwave and turned it on. He said that he put it in for 4 seconds (no way in hell cause it was a pile of ashes) he said that it caught on fire so he hurried up and blew on it to get it out then threw it in the GARBAGE can and went to bed!!!! Now keep in mind that my new house is not done yet so we live in a mobile home!!! What is wrong with this kid!!?? I don't know what to do with him. He has a bunch of walmart gift cards that he got for xmas that I am taking to buy my new microwave, but thats not the point, he almost burnt the house down. Then he didnt even wake us up to tell us, he went to bed!!! If anyone doesn't know, I have 5 kids in this house, a 7 month old, 2 year old twins, then the older 2 (9&12) I really don't think that we could all make it out of a fire, the little ones dont know what to do!!
