I don't believe in ironing. There. I said it. I don't iron. Such an admission is practically anit-American. At the very least, it is anti-Mormon. Good Mormon women iron.
This does not bother me much as I never claimed to be a good Mormon woman. Don't get me wrong. I have admiration for all those women who practice the art of ironing. However, I have good reasons for not ironing. If I ironed all the wrinkles out of my clothes, it would only emphasize the wrinkles in my face, neck, and arms.
I figure God gave me those wrinkles for a purpose. (I'm still waiting to find out what it is.) In the meantime, I need to honor that by making certain my clothes match the rest of me.
I don't iron either. At least, it's very rare. Like once-a-quarter rare. And then it's only for special cases. On the bright side, I attend church much more regularly (in un-ironed clothes).
