Sisterly Advice

I once told my sister that she would get cancer if she stood in front of the microwave. This fact entered my consciousness as I just now stood in front of the microwave heating a sweet potato.

I hope it's not true.

I think I recall departing this sisterly advice because I wanted her to stop using the microwave as I wanted it all to myself for some long forgotten reason. But maybe I just wanted to scare her.

She refused to use the microwave for ages after that. And when she did she'd put her food in, set the time and push the 'start' button as she ran away from it, hiding around the corner until the ding signaling her food was ready. 

Now, as an adult in her own apartment I can report that she owns no microwave.
