Irons Are Hot!
Can I tell you a funny story? Not funny ha-ha but funny, like, is this really my life kind of story? Those stories when that naughty, three letter acronym would be so appropriate?
Today I ironed. It never happens. I'm talking weddings and Easter and anything linen. That's it.
When the kids came home from school, I felt the need to continuously remind them to 'Be Careful' when walking past the ironing board. For good measure, I threw in 'It's Hot' just in case they were not aware...irons are hot. All sure signs I do not iron with any sort of consistency, especially since they are 12, 9, and 7. Truly at this age, they should have learned it from school or cartoons, an older cousin, right?!? Irons are hot.
After an hour of warnings and reminders about the iron (which is hot), my youngest son walks past the ironing board and sticks his little fingertip directly on the shiny silver metal. His eyes got big and he pulled his finger to his chest. "Ouch, that's hot!"
Really?!? What can I say to that? The boy is 7 years old. He is one of those people who has to learn a lesson the hard way. I can warn him of dangers until I am blue in the face. But curiosity always gets the best of him.
*sigh*
I bet he never touches an iron again.
Ha ha! poor kiddo!
ReplyDeleteI know! Luckily it was on a low setting so no real damage was done. But really?!? This child I stress about :)
DeleteYou are going to have to watch him closely!! My brother was one of those kinds of kids and they were always taking him to the ER.
DeleteHaha! I was the exact same way! I remember my mom continually telling me that no, Crisco does not taste like icing. But it wasn't until I actually tasted a big ol' spoonful that I realized she was right!
ReplyDeleteHope your little one's finger is okay!
hahaha poor kid, I probably would have done the same thing. :)
