Aha... I have been informed that, in fact, I had a different package... I bought Easy Mac, which is obviously designed to be used by the younger set, and not the regular Mac and Cheese. No 10-year-old should have a problem with *these* instructions, assuming they were allowed to use the microwave. So I guess the moral of this story is, instead of buying the "adult" product and complaining that it doesn't meet your needs, buy the product that was designed for kids.
And as for adults with limited English skills... I'm sure most of them have enough sense to recognize cooked macaroni and cheese when they see it. ;-)

Either Michele's package is different, she made the whole thing up, or those 10-year-olds *really* have problems with reading and comprehension. ;-) So there goes that experiment.
