“I couldn’t get the darn thing open so I just tossed the whole laptop in the microwave for what I thought was going to be a quick and uneventful 20 minutes!” explains elder millennial man. “Sparks were flying everywhere almost immediately and a small fire began to form. I immediately became hysterical and ran outside just as fast as my legs would take me! I couldn’t call anyone because I misplaced my cell phone in all the commotion!”
“That’s kind of what happened” admits elder millennial’s mother. “The truth is, my son was very embarrassed of all the P. Diddy songs on his laptop. He just couldn’t seem to get rid of them. I know he tried to delete them several times but they just kept showing back up because of something called “the cloud” as he explains. As for what happened to his phone, he had the P. Diddy song with Sting as his ring tone and he couldn’t quite figure out how to change it so he just through the phone in the microwave with the laptop.”
Elder millenial’s mother raises arms in exhaustion.
“He kept shouting something about this being “the only way” but I just thought he was having a moment. I didn’t think he was actually going to start the microwave! Kids these days don’t quite have it all together, even at the ripe old age of 40.”
Elder Millennial’s mother wipes tear from eye.
“Sometimes I think I failed him and sometimes I think he failed me.”
