Ruthie asked a Sikh to remove his turban?! Well, I guess it’s better she learn about others’ religions and cultures as a kid when people are less likely to be offended by point-blank questions and requests.
I tried all sorts of popping gadgets, and microwave popcorn (ugh). I finally went to the way my mother always popped corn: Big saucepan, tight fitting lid, on the stove top. Arms get a workout from shaking the pan, too… Mmmm.
Well, Ruthie didn’t know he’s not supposed to remove his turban. But I feel her pain. I remember going to the movies when I was Ruthie’s age. We would get there early and my mom would carefully pick out seats where I could clearly see the screen. And then two or three minutes before the movie started, even if there were empty seats elsewhere, invariably an adult would come and plunk him/herself directly in front of me. I remember all the Walt Disney movies with a head in the middle of them. To this day, I always look carefully when I take a seat at the movies and will NOT sit in front of a small child.

Jiffy-Pop hats! That’s funny. I had to stop and think what Jiffy-Pop was though.

I loved to watch the foil expand, the sound of the popping, I forgot all about Jiffy Pop. Yum! Great cartoon – as usual -

Or, if you just happen to own an actual popcorn machine, you can use that.

My favorite popcorn popper was my West Bend electric wok. It made much better popcorn than my microwave.
