     The ironed shoelaces are in need.

 

You saw her when she came to the school last month.

You tried to speak with her but other male-vultures did not give you a chance.

So, you just continued to admire her from far back.

Till, one day..

Well, it is not important now.

The fact is that today you go out with her to see a film.

.

You want to look your best.

So, you look on your blue with grey strips suit.

It is all right but needs ironing.

You take it out to the iron room.

Plug the iron, put the board in place and begin to work.

It is difficult to iron inside sleeves, so you find a wood board of 4", insert it into the sleeve and sit on it.

It does not help.

The sleeve is still wrinkled.

So, you bring a glass of water, take it into your mouth and try to spray it on the sleeve.

But the same moment you begin to do it, your puppy jumps on your leg.

Too surprised, you want to yell on him and water is going out of your mouth on your neck and inside your shirt.

You shiver from cold, but resolutely continue.

.

Take once more a sip of water, but this time you keep your mouth closed when the puppy jumps again.

This time you swallow this water.

Not being prepared, you begin to cough and burp.

You need to stop it, otherwise you cannot continue.

Therefore, you try to scare yourself.

You cry on yourself suddenly..

.

You explain to your mother, who came to see what happened to you:

-I (burp) just w(burp)ant (burp)( burp) to st(burp)op bur(burp- burp)ping.

-Then drink water.

-but (burp) that's wh(burp)at star(burp)ted it all(burp) (burp).

-Then (the bang on the head was totally unsuspected and you stop burping)

Mother sees your difficulty in sleeve ironing so does it for yourself.

After this, you know how to iron the trousers.

.

So, you put the suit on clothes hanger and into the closet.

You are done with it.

Now the shirt.

It goes much quicker, after you saw how mother irons sleeves.

So, next you come to a tie.

You don't want to decide which, so you iron a dozen.

Now is socks' turn to get the iron treatment.

After you finish ironing two socks, you notice that they are different colour.

So you do other two half-pairs in order to chose later the most suitable.

And now you begin to go deeper.

Underpants

You take a pair - she will think you too old

Another pair - too daring.

You choose the boxer style.

And iron it.

But then think - what if?

You go to parent's sleeping room and take a condom from the chest near the bed.

You open it.

It is totally wrinkled.

You run back to iron it.

Wrinkles begin disappear.

You think about the evening and smile to yourself.

You will be prepared to any occasion.

You look on ironing board.

Where is the condom?

You put the iron on the board and look under it.

Look all around in the room.

Check if puppy didn't bite it.

Nothing.

So you go to parents room and take another condom.

You try to unwrinkle it too, but the iron doesn't slide on it as it should.

You raise the iron with back upside and see where that first condom is.

You unplug the iron and try to take the burned latex from the iron's surface.

You try with the knife.

Some is still there and won't get down.

If so, it isn't important.

However, you decide against ironing the second condom and think about the last garment for today's evening.

Shoes.

You take your beloved Nike and see that the shoelaces are wrinkled and twisted.

You have to iron them.

Therefore, you put the shoe on the board and begin ironing the laces.

However, having nothing as contra, the iron cannot do the work.

And so you put your fingers under the lace.

You try once more to iron.

.

Mother bursts into the room to see why you cry.

She puts some toothpaste on your burn and explains that you should take laces of the shoes.

.

That's much easier.

Now you can do the job.

But laces continue to twist and instead of taking wrinkles down, you create new ones.

You have a revolutionary idea.

In a minute, you return with a box of pins.

And pin the laces to the board.

Now it is REALLY easy.

.

Some moments later, you are ready and look proudly on all the work done.

Mother comes in and gives you the phone.

It's she. The girl.

She cannot come today because some other guy from the school invited her to the restaurant.

You run to your room, take her picture down from the wall and iron it until it is totally black.
