Ironing, yuck!

Remember a few days ago I told you there was a story about ironing.  Well I don't know if I've told this before.  Maybe when on spaces but here goes again.

As a new young bride (19) I wanted to be the best I could be.  I think most of us feel that way.  Wanting to do as much right as possible and please the new husband.  Well, naive I was.  Tending to believe what he told me.  So, I ironed almost everything.  Even the tee shirts were nice and wrinkle free.  He said his grandma always did it and I wasn't going to be outdone by a poor little bent over lady.  I think I was suckered in for about 3 months before I got the chance to ask her about this.  Side story here, Jack lived with her as he ran away from home because of an abusive step-father.  Well imagine the sheepish look on his face when the truth came out.  Poor guys been paying for this every since.  :-) Needless to say, the dryer is the best iron there is.

  4. LOL! Truth evened the score nicely I'd say! I've almost always ironed my own things since high school...not sure why. I guess I should count my blessings...nothing could come back in bite me with this arrangement!

  5. lol....That is just hilarious. Has he ever learned how to use the iron himself? I used to iron all the shirts and pants, until my boys were in high school and they refused to let me have their clothes to iron. I found out the world didn't end because there was a wrinkle in their clothes. Before that, I would have died if any of us left the house wrinkled. It meant I wasn't doing my job. Thank God for my boys. They have saved me a lot of time!!!
