An alarming morning

6:30 AM today.
WHOOP---WHOOP--- WHOOP----
That's the sound of our smoke detector going off!
What happened you may be asking yourself??

Jason's brother, who has temporarily moved in with us, went out clubbing last night, came home apparently hungry, decided he was going to cook some canned beefaroni (at 4 AM), so he put it in a pot, turned on the stove, then laid down on the couch and fell asleep! When the alarm went off (at 630 AM), we found 2 burners turned on and the microwave door open, him sleeping on the couch, and tons of smoke in the house...my pot ruined, the beefaroni black as black can be, and because our smoke detector is connected thru Brinks....here comes a firetruck! What a morning!!!!
Little brothers are trouble huh? And this one is 28!
Thank God we have a detector and we didn't inhale that smoke!
I don't know if I should laugh or what, really.
No--- no laughing....it's not funny.
*cough*

He needs to be banned from the kitchen! Tell him most folks go out for breakfast after a night of drinking......

Um, sorry...some people can't be left alone :)! Maybe the cut off age should be 30! Did he get everything moved though?

Dear me! You're more kind and patient than I think I would be...I don't think I'd be anywhere near the laughing stage for days....if not weeks!!!

I'm with Jennifer, you are definitely more kind than I would have been. I've been in his position, but I didn't nearly burn my brother's house down.
