We were talking about how to open a bag of chips or crisps and I relayed this story:
heh, I have a story on being careful on how you teach someone to open a bag…
when my 2nd oldest nephew was about 4 or 5 he couldn’t open a chip bag…so his dad taught him to squeeze the bottom of the bag where it “pops” open Now on smaller bags this usually worked as it just opened enough that he could pull apart the bag but…
Well he’s about 7 and we went to sams club (walmarts bulk buy store)and they sell the Frito-lay snack mix called “munchies” in 4-5 pound bags and we bought some Well on the way back home we decide to open a bag …
He opens the big bag that’s really air inflated and all of a sudden there’s a loud pop as he blew out the entire bag bottom 5 pounds of pretzels Cheetos, sun chips, and, Doritos are flying everywhere, and what was left just dropped out of the bag …
He was crying because he thought we were going to be mad because of the mess and he wasted a 6 dollar bag of chips and grandma said no and explained that he was too big to open a bag that way …it took a month to get the smell out and I’m not entirely sure we ever got all of the chips out of the van before we had to trade it in
Anyone else have regrets on teaching a kid or anyone else a “quick” way fo doing something that well blew up on you or others?
