I have raised a heathen.
My son, home from college for the summer, had been chomping at the bit to try one of my BBA French Bread baguettes, but I wouldn't let him touch them until they had cooled. When one reached room temperature I gave him a piece, and then turned aside to do some cleaning.
Next thing I know I hear the sound of the microwave: yes, he had put my baby into the machine that turns good bread into gum, in order to melt some hard butter he had placed on the piece.
I did not disown him, though I am trying to figure out what I did wrong in my childraising.
BTW, he now says he likes the non-microwaved ones a little better. Oy.
