The Bulb and the Smackdown

Cory got a Queasy Bake Cookerator, the gross little boy version of the Easy Bake ovens of the past, that bakes nasty looking treats like foamy drool covered dog biscuits and Mud and Crud Cake with worms. I can't imagine WHY, but I've been putting off opening and using this thing.

So I decided to let him take this as a homeschooling project with Jim today. (I DID ask and gave Jim a chance to say no). And it takes a single lightbulb to work.

Which Cory proceeded to carry around everywhere and would pop it up above his head like a light bulb had just gone off because he'd had a thought... complete with the little binging noise it would, in theory, make.

I dropped him off at Jim's this morning and he did it a bunch of times before he made it up to the door.

It was cute.

But the best part was that Mom dissed him a little when he did it for the millionth time. She said, "it's like you are thinking but haven't actually had a thought... or wouldn't the bulb light up?"

You go, Mom.
