My eyes slowly drifted open.
I stretched knocking this off the bedside table.
Rubbing my eyes I reached to pick my phone off the floor.
Time: 8:00.
Crap! I was late for school.
I jumped out of my bed (literally) searching frantically for any traces of my white school blouse. Screwed up in the laundry basket. Fantastic. I stretched it out, trying to iron out the creases with my hand. Yeah, fail. I shrugged the shirt over my shoulders and examined myself in the mirror. Too creased. Damn. There had to be an iron around here somewhere. After rummaging through the laundry cupboards for a solid ten minutes, I found it sitting my the fire place. And it was dirty. My father had been using it to try to peel the ugly, old wall paper off the wall. I hate that man sometimes (not really). Screw it. I was going to iron anyway.
Another glitch, no ironing board. No dining room table. Damn this whole moving in thing! Oh, I know. I have a brilliant idea. Why not use my plastic school folder as a board? So I plugged the iron in, sat on my bed, wrapped my shirt around the folder, placed the folder on my lap and proceeded to iron my blouse. Turns out the whole plastic thing wasn't the issue. Ironing on a folder was far harder than expected. I pulled the iron back, it slipped of the folder and ended up on my leg, leaving a 6 cm long, 2cm wide triangle on me leg.
I am such a smart child!
My friends had a field day with that one. I wish I had a camera so I could take a photo and attach it. So you can all laugh at me too (If there is anyone present). Laugh at me, I like making people smile. If there's anyone out there, what stupid things have you done recently?
