Microwave Experience

Let's play a game, association. I say a word and you come up with the first thing that comes to your mind.
Summer --> Sun, beach, whatever
Sweet --> Candy, cake…
Station wagon - babies, babies, babies

Jared has got himself a station wagon, albeit as he says a sporty one.
Rayana: are you expecting?
Jared: No, it's a small one
Rayana: still, it's a station wagon and it says: baby on board
Jared: No, it's actually smaller than Kate's car
Rayana: still says babies
Jared: it's very sporty though, and it's got tinted windows
Rayana: … with babies
Jared: and alloy wheels
Rayana: babies, babies…
Jared acts really annoyed, and keeps smiling through his teeth. Silence…
After a minute or so: We couldn't actually fit this-and-that into a car and we had to put it into Kate's car.
Rayana: small babies.

It's not that the last word has to be on me. It's just when you get a station wagon, and you are the right age and in a relationship, be prepared to be stereotyped.
Plus, he drives like he's got a permanent baby in the car - slooooowwww.




Any who, considering he couldn't keep talking about his car anymore or any other car for that matter, we moved on to microwaves.
Chris has been trying to understand why 2 containers of food warm up slower than one.
Chris, but the mass is much larger, hence it takes longer to heat up in a microwave, I exclaim. Jared happily nods while munching on his toasted sandwich: yes, more food, more time. But Chris went into a whole philosophical discussion about microwave particles getting excited about the quantity of food and rubbing against each other and the food and that's how it gets Hot, hot, hot!
That's when some of us have lost their appetite. I mean just thinking about what your spaghetti was up to in a microwave, all shy, covered with spinach and white wine, getting drunk with all those over-excited particles. Hmm, I don't know if I want to eat that anymore. So Jared and I just kept looking at each other while listening to Chris' meaning of microwave life.
Another lesson for you kids - don't heat and eat.
