The Microwave BURNS the Popcorn

I come home last night and my Nephew Brandon is going to pop some microwave popcorn in my Microwave.  His Sister, Yes MY NIECE, Sarah Rebecca Adams Sunkel proceeds to tell him that he has to stop the microwave 30 seconds before or the microwave will BURN the popcorn to which I say IS NOT TRUE and the argument begins!

Anyone who truly knows me KNOWS that I research Kitchen Appliances to get the very best.  I've been popping popcorn in my microwave for years using the POPCORN BUTTON and NOT ONCE has a SINGLE KERNEL EVER BURNED!

So, today I'm telling Sarah to TRUST my Microwave and she says NO!  She does her usual stopping the microwave 30 seconds early thus leaving MANY UNPOPPED KERNELS in the bag.

5 minutes later, I grab a bag, put it in the microwave, press the POPCORN BUTTON and proceed to tell her that I am going to PROVE HER WRONG!  She said, WE ARE WATCHING A MOVIE! and goes to her room with her NOT FULLY POPPED POPCORN.

When the POPCORN CYCLE ENDS with the BEEEEEP - I go get my Bag of Popcorn, grab a bowl and go into her room, OPEN THE BAG in front of her and CHALLENGE HER to FIND JUST ONE BURNT KERNEL!

She COULD NOT as I knew she WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO because my Microwave is a SENSOR MICROWAVE OVEN and thus KNOWS NOT TO BURN THE POPCORN!

She said well IT SMELLS BURNT to which I said SMELLING BURNT IS NOT BURNT!  YOU LOSE!

I submit PROOF in the following picture!

The CAR of your DOOR

So, I let my Niece, Sarah borrow my car AGAIN to go to Virginia Beach.  Now in her car, she has the seat all jacked up so that only SHE can drive it.  She gets in MY CAR and puts the seat in a TOTALLY different and even more JACKED UP position!  How she drives is simply amazing!  It always takes me about 1 hour to get my seat CLOSE to where I had it BEFORE she borrowed it.

And ALWAYS, I give her CRAP about JACKING UP MY SEAT!  She says SHE CAN'T DRIVE with the SEAT IN THAT POSITION!  Which PROVES she can't drive a car with the seats in a TIME TESTED 60/40 position! 

She also has the MIRRORS looking down the SIDES OF THE CAR instead of where the INSURANCE COMPANY says they should be which is in line with the OUTSIDE LANES of the HIGHWAY!  Again, HOW she drives is amazing and Her Dad and I have proven time and time again that she is completely UNAWARE of ANYONE beside her because SHE CANNOT SEE THEM no matter what she says!  We've actually rode beside her for over 1 mile before and she denied we were there! 

Anyway, She proceeds to tell me today that she HATES my Car because the CAR OF YOUR DOOR bruised my face!  She said it THREE TIMES that way!

You CANNOT make up stuff like this!

Bad Memory

This morning at about 8:00am I told my Niece Sarah that we were hosting CARITAS at our Church starting today.

For those that don't know, CARITAS stands for:  Churches Around Richmond In Togetherness Assuring Shelter.

Anyway, Sarah swore that I never told her about it.  I did tell her on more than one occasion.  She told me to remind her when it got closer.  Now, I will admit that I failed to remind her when it got closer.

Less than 1 hour later, Sarah tells me we're having Spaghetti for dinner tonight.  I said, "I'm eating at Church."

She said, Oh?  What are you doing at church?

I said CARITAS! 

I have been VINDICATED!

Is it Hiccups or HicDammit?

This Evening I'm sitting in the Living Room watching my Cartoons.  Suddenly I hear the following Coming from Sarah's Room:

Hic!
Dammit!

Hic!
Dammit!

Hic!
Dammit!

Hic!
Dammit!

Hic!
Dammit!



This goes on for at least 10 Minutes.  Makes one wonder if Hiccup has been wrong all these years?

You're SUPPOSED to MOVE when the Traffic Light Changes to GREEN!

I see this everyday!  EVERY DAY!

People will pull into the empty lane at traffic lights and then when the light changes to green they pull away at a slow crawl.

Only TWO cars make it through the light because they're too BUSY on their CELL PHONES or doing something else except PAYING ATTENTION!

This drives me nuts!  Come on people!   NOTHING is THAT IMPORTANT that it cannot WAIT!

1.  Put PHONE DOWN!
2.  Put your make on at HOME!
3.  Get up EARLIER!
4.  MOVE when the light changes to GREEN!
5.  If you can't drive faster than 1 MPH through an INTERSECTION then STAY HOME!

Hey - go get me a Monkey Bar

My Niece Sarah is getting her Tattoo finished when she tells my other Niece, Casey to go to the Freezer and get her a "Monkey Bar".

Casey, comes in and asks me where they are at.  I said I've never heard of them before.  She goes back and asked Sarah again.

This time Sarah uses the Correct Name of Banana Popsicle!

Sarah tells Casey that people call Banana Popsicle's "Monkey Bars"...

After 30 minutes searching the web, the only "Monkey Bars" I could find are the ones you swing from on Elementary School Playgrounds!

So, Sarah, YOU may call it a "Monkey Bar" but the REST of the ENTIRE WORLD calls it a Banana Popsicle!
