I'll take your blood tests if you'll fold my laundry!

I like to iron (except 100% cotton shirts which I can't do as well as the cleaners)because I like the pressed, wrinkle-free look. People have given us clothes and told me that the clothes look better on my kids because I iron them. So if you need anything ironed, bring it over.
