Quick Funny

I don't iron very often if I can help it. I'd honestly rather walk around wrinkled than iron something. But a few weeks ago I had to for some reason. Our laundry room is seriously small and I can't iron easily in there with the little tabletop board that we have. So I moved it into the bedroom, put it on the floor and sat down to iron whatever it was that I felt deserved non-wrinkled attire. Not a fancy set-up but I can't justify spending money on something I hate. Anyway, when I was finished, I turned off the iron and moved on to other things. For weeks after that the iron and board remained on the floor in a corner of the room. I started hearing these weird little random ticks that I couldn't place for the longest time. Finally, after about 3 weeks I discovered that the iron was still warm. Even though I had turned the iron off, it was left plugged in and for some reason didn't turn all the way off. I was mortified thinking how easily it could have fallen over and caught something on fire. With kids in and out of there and pets it's amazing it didn't get knocked over. I wasn't sure I was going to tell Jason because I figured he'd be just as mortified as I had been thinking the iron was left on that long. But I decided to tell him anyway. And he was definitely mortified...about ALL that electricity I wasted! Never mind that the house could have burned down but how dare I use electricity. Seriously...his mind does not function properly. The next time I nearly burn down the house, I'll be sure it's a solar-powered event.

"The next time I nearly burn down the house, I'll be sure it's a solar-powered event"...

Glad to hear it ended well.

LOVE your last comment. LMAO

And I left my glue gun on for 2-3 days without knowing. Freaked me out when I found it still turned on burning hot!
