A Useful Lesson

Tonight I learned why we don't have hot liquids in wax-paper cups. The wax melts into your tea on the inside, and onto your hand on the outside. Luckily, Amanda is tolerant. I think I need to buy more mugs that fit in my microwave. (No, I didn't microwave the wax-paper cups: I boiled water in a bowl, and poured it into the cups, leaving a small puddle of boiling water on the top of my fridge. I think the general idea is that this Isn't my night.

Maybe not your night, but you've made mine! That's hilarious. And now I know never to put hot liquids in wax-paper cups. Now I'm curious as to what happens if you actually do put the wax cups in the microwave. You are talking of the thin, transparent wax cups, right?
