I was talkin' to Nyssa the other day about microwaves and how the old ones wouldn't shut off, even if you open the door. Then I was thinking about it just now and I really don't think kids are ever taught how they work. Our parents were alive during the invention of the microwave so I'm sure they got the low-down on 'em but I never did. I think it's one of those things that we just take for granted and just push it to the side as we go on about our busy little lives. It was a crazy realization that the little waves flying around inside that contraption above the oven can cause cancer and deformities. Then again, maybe I'm the only one who feels this way about the microwave.
