I am placing this here because I think a teen would know rather than a parent.

Okay, so the other night my 15-year-old son and his friend were still up at 4 a.m. When I came downstairs, I saw traces of flour everywhere. I noted the flour cannister on top of the fridge where it belongs. I asked him if this was was flour or powdered sugar and what they were doing with it. He said it was sugar and they were “making something.” I was frustrated and just told them to go up to his room and go to bed. 15 min later I notice the flour cannister is gone from on top of the fridge! I call him back down and ask where it is. He tries to pretend he doesn’t know! Finally he says “oh yea – it is in my room. We were trying to make playdough.” HUH??? I know that isn’t the case cuz there is no trace of “play-dough” anywhere, but what the heck could they have been doing with it?? My only thought was bagging it up and selling it as cocaine, lol, but no evidence of that either. Any ideas?
Anima09 “attitude problem?”

Anyway, I could see the “mischevious boy” thing. Knowing my son, I bet it was the trying to make an explosion thing, like an experiment. I am glad I asked cuz I had no idea flour could (maybe?) do that? I really didn’t think he was bagging it up, just joking. And he was definitely not trying to bake me something, haha. Anyway, just was curious cuz it was so odd to me!
