My Intentions Were Honorable

Tie o’ the Day #1 is a purple harlequin wonder. Very spiffy. It is from ALFANI. Shirt is a Bugatchi, of course.

I wrote out a list of chores on a Post-it note, listing Tie’s assignments for today. Tie got started early, and began doing some much-needed ironing for the household. Good Tie!

When I was a wee sprite, one day while Mom was at work at the Delmart,  I decided to learn to iron. Unfortunately, I began my ironing education by attempting to iron my swimming suit. Guess who melted her swimming suit? And then I tried to hide the iron-shaped, melted spot by secretly letting it go for a spin in the washer, putting in gallons of Tide. Foam escaped the washer lid, so I used every towel in the house to sop that up. Of course, that washer venture wasn’t successful in restoring my swimsuit.

My thinker then decided that because there were heavy-duty chemicals in the city pool (the old outdoor pool), going for a swim session would surely put the swimsuit back into its original state. But still no luck with that. Alas, I had to confess my well-meaning misstep to my mother. Fortunately for me, she thought it was a funny story. Whew! I never ironed in that house again. Nor did I do any laundry. Mom’s heart was gladdened about all that. 😇
