You Forgot the Spoon

Me and Felix were making hot chocolate the other day, and he had decided to put a vaguely-marshmallow-shaped sweetie in it, which meant he needed a spoon, which he retrieved from the drawer in very efficient fashion, and put it in the mug. And I took it out again, before putting said mug in microwave.

"You forgot the spoon," he said.

"You can't put metal in microwaves, it might explode."

"But we can put it in the mug," he said.

"Yes, but it'll still be in the microwave."

"We could put it next to the mug?"

"No, it'll still be in the microwave. You can't put metal in the microwave."

"Is it against the law?"

"No, it's just a really bad idea."

"Can we put it on top of the microwave?"

"We could, yes, or we could just leave it here by the kettle, then put it in the mug after it comes out."

"OK then."
