This was very funny and well written. Perhaps when Ron discovers what a beeping box is actually for, from Harry or Hermione, he'll change his opinion. Something that cooks in record time will surely be of interest to Ron.
THERE IS JUST NO ACCOUNTING FOR PARENTS AND THEIR ODD HABITS
Author's Response: None. :p
*grins* This is a sweetly amusing fic, if that makes any sense. =) I've always wondered what Ron would be like when he experienced Muggle things...I mean, take the "tellyfone"!
Now, just imagine - what could happen when he saw a "micawave"?
What would his father say?
Well, Wand_Waver2006 gives us a hilarious fic illustrating these points. Wonderful job, Wand_Waver2006!
First of all, this is very well written. You varied your sentences nicely, making for an enjoyable read. You didn't stick to the boring old, "he ran away. He ran back. He said..." and blah blah blah. Instead, you started your sentences with verbs sometimes, sometimes with adjectives, and sometimes with adverbs. You also varied your sentence length - amazing work! I just love it when fics are hilarious and well written!
Mr. Weasley's reaction to Ron seeing the microwave was hilarious. "What was it like? How did it sound? Did you get one?”
Did you get one? That was just so funny. As if Ron was going to go out and buy a random microwave. Mr. Weasley is portrayed so well, here. Great job.
Your overall characterization is good too - all the characters were distinctly themselves and in character - which is unusual in a humor fic, yet just as funny!
I'm really trying to think of a way you could improve this. I really am. So far I've got nothing. =)
Great job, Wand_Waver,

Author's Response: Aw, thank you, Euphrates! Once again I get showered with compliments I do not deserve. And you know what? This wasn't betaed. At least, I don't remember sending it to a beta. Didn't know I could do this good without one. ^^ Thank you oh so much, Euphrates. Your reviews always make my day!
ok odd
Author's Response: Um...thanks?
*gigglesnort*
Author's Response: O...k...thank you....I guess???
This is really funny! I like how you called it a micawave, instead of a microwave!
Author's Response: Thank you! Well, witches and wizards usually get teh names mixed up, so why not change teh name of one of teh most common of our objects? ^^ Thanks for the review.
That was kinda funny. You should extend it. Write another chapter or a sequal or something.
Author's Response: Hmm, I'll think about it, thanks for the review!
Aww, how cute! I love your one-shot!
Arthur's reaction is just like it would have been if JK Rowling had written it How sweet! And Ron was very convincing, too! He wasn't too convincing when he talked to Neville though. But throughout the other parts, he was very 'canon', in my opinion. Great!
Keep up the good work. I had a good laugh.
Author's Response: You really thought it was funny? Thanks!
Hi there! Congrats on your first story!! Nice job with the challenge prompt, your story was fun to read. I thought you did a great job with Neville's character, and I loved Mr. Weasley's reaction at the end. Good luck in the challenge!! ~Gina :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Gina! Thanks for the review.

Author's Response: haha, right. ^^
