Why is there corn on a little red light? you may ask. The other day I was making dinner for three starving children and famished husband when one of the wee ones asked for a few niblets of frozen, uncooked corn to hold her over until dinner was ready. Perfect idea I thought and agreed. A few minutes later I noticed a few kernels of the frozen corn arranged oh so carefully around the little red light on my stovetop that indicates if the stove is hot or not. (For those of you without experience with glass top stoves, when my stove is on, a red burner light appears under the glass and starts cooking the food, a little like this little red light- but much bigger and hotter.) I figured out that Alaina had indeed placed them there with hopes of warming her snack on the little red light. Needless to say, it was taking a very long time, but she was patient and was eventually rewarded with two thawed kernels. YUMMY! -M

What a cute story! Isn't she ingenious? Way to go, Lainie!
That's hilarious because the reward is so very small...two tiny morsels of corn for all her work.
Good idea, though...not too tasty frozen!
Is she the cutest or what?!
So smart! We loved her little note- that was soo sweet:)
