“Mom, do you have an iron?” my 14-year-old son Wyatt asked.
Oh-oh, I thought. Busted.
“I need my tie ironed for the game.” Wyatt’s on the Willow River junior high basketball team, and the players are required to wear dress shirts and ties on game day.
I defaulted into “Sprinkle it with water, then run it through the dryer on touch-up.”
“That doesn’t work.”
I squirm.
“I know!” he said after a moment of thought. “I’ll go to FACS class and iron it there.”
I was impressed. Problem solving skills, a willingness to do domestic work, and looking snazzy while doing it. A three-pointer!
