When I was a kid, I liked to make toast, butter it, and stick it back in the toaster so it would melt all of the way. My mother told me that if I did that, the butter would melt back into the electrical wirings and start a fire.
I had nightmares for weeks that our house would burn down because I had done that every morning for a year before she caught me.

Certain internet videos led me to believe that all women could perform certain activities with the greatest of ease.
This is apparently not the case. (...seriously. what?)

So I walk into the motorhome a few years back and my 7 year old daughter and her little friend are staring at all the smoke coming from the toaster. Laughling to beat the band. Seems the bagel she inserted in it had gotten stuck and was now burning.
Of course we all know if you overheat a Pop Tart it will erupt in flames as was done on Dave Letteman...
Not to mention the Rollerblading Barbie that gave off sparks that would set fire to cotton panties that had been sprayed with hair spray. Why someone would put hair spray onto cotton panties has never been explained...

The problem blue, is that you were watching too much Wiggles online.
My childhood misconception was that I thought Chuck Norris slept.

I am cracking up over the skating Barbie, let alone the panties. What did they do, stick them on her head when she was skating? That just gave me a hysterical visual of this Barbie on skates, careening around a toyroom, attached to Aquanet soaked panties!!!!

My sister always did that same thing, and the toaster actually did catch on fire and burn up. Realz.
