Oatmeal + microwave = disaster

And I know this. I know that if you don't watch your oatmeal cooking away in the microwave, a huge balloon of oatmeal happiness overflows and covers everything. Today I thought I was outsmarting the oatmeal/microwave relationship by using a larger plastic bowl. I should have known better. It doesn't matter.

And it doesn't help that I got completely distracted by the poetry magnets on the refrigerator door either.

I turn my back for a few seconds and WHAM! half my oatmeal is all over the bottom of the microwave. Sad times.
