Although it is enjoyable seeing the look of anticipation in their eyes, the whole process leaves me a little uptight. Such a seemingly simple activity leaves my boys witihin harms way...observe this daring and dangerous event as they are standing on a chair on wheels to get a great view of a steaming hot machine purchased for $5 and emits scorching heat. Within minutes, the machine is untouchable without protective gear. Meanwhile, see that spacious opening pointing toward the bowl? It is just wide enough to send lava-hot kernals in every direction and tempting little hands to pick up these little bouncy balls. And before you know it, their mouths are watering for the scrumtiously delicious (bone dry and unsalted) popcorn fluffs. No worries there...they cool off fast enough...Oh no, is someone choking on a hull?
Sometimes I wonder if we should stick to less risky activities like jumping off a cliff:) But I know the popcorn bowl will be back tomorrow b/c it is the one thing that the boys like to share!
