169. He Forgot Again

Michael put a frozen burrito into the microwave. He sat down and read the newspaper. He read the sports section. He got up. He went to the microwave. He took out the burrito. It wasn’t hot. It wasn’t warm. It was still frozen. He had forgotten to turn on the microwave. He turned on the microwave and sat down again. Michael put some water into a pot. He put two eggs into the pot. He put the pot on the stove. He set the timer for 15 minutes. He sat down and read the newspaper. He read the business section. The timer went off. He got up. He went to the stove. The water wasn’t hot. The water wasn’t warm. The water was still cold. He had forgotten to turn on the burner. He turned on the burner. He set the timer again.
