Burnt Toast

We have the strangest toaster I have ever seen. We used to have to set it on 2 or 3 to actually get toast. Otherwise it would just be warm bread. Then, anything higher then 1 would burn it. Now, you put it on 1 1/2 or two. That is just the beginning of the weirdness. Sometime our toaster will pop the toast out, and it will just fly out of the toaster, so you find yourself looking everywhere for the toast. Sometimes the toast gets stuck down, so you have to dig in the toaster to get the toast. Sometimes it just pops up, not enough to make it fly, but not so little that you have to dig for it. We have a strange toaster. Today, Benjamin decided to try an experiment with our toaster. He decided to try to find out what would happen to toast if he set the toaster on 6. Well, we didn't even find out what would happen, because after a while, the smoke alarm went off, and we had to pop it up. It was the blackest toast that I had ever seen. It also left our house smothered in smoke. My dad said that he could smell it even before he made it to our house. We had to open all the windows in the house to let the smoke out. Finally our house got aired out. It no longer smells like burnt toast. Benjamin did actually end up eating the toast, after he scraped off most of the charcoal. It was an interesting day.
