Parenthood can be dangerous. This morning for instance I was operating a highly complex piece of dangerous machinery (our toaster) and preparing some delicious cuisine (a pop tart) for our boys. The setting was set too hot and the icing on the breakfast pastry was partially melted to the temperature of the magma inside of active volcanoes. When it finally popped out, I grabbed it and the icing became seared to my flesh causing me to shriek like a frightened schoolgirl. My boys thought I was playing and starting imititating "Daddy's Silly Scream" which added a kick to my pride to go along with the second degree burns and blisters on my hand. I spent the morning with a paper towel wrapped around my neosporin-covered palm and now, I am on the road to recovery. We'll be eating cold cereal at the Willis house every morning for the forseeable future!

When that gets old try Nature Valley Breakfast Bars. Great source of Protein without the fear of 3rd degree burns. As fathers, we live and we learn. Comment provided by Greg P. in Lex,KY. "Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis!"
Amazing.... you've gotten more blisters from poptarts in one morning then you did in a week of work in Honduras
people just don't realize the dangers we toddler fathers face today... my parents talk about how things are so much safer today then they were way back when... did they have to deal with PopTart burns... I don't think so...
That toaster is malfunctioning. you should sue the manufacturer for negligence.
This one made me laugh. You crack me up, Dave!
