A
few months ago, the lights on our microwave display started to go out. At
first, it was just an inconvenience to know if it was a seven or one. But as
more bars went out, the microwave started to say “Erd” instead of “End” when
the food was done cooking. Now, when the completed cycle starts to chime, no
matter where I am in the house, I yell out, “Erd!” It’s my inside joke with my
second favorite appliance. I see no need to replace it until it stops working
completely.
