conversation with mom

MK: yeah, so i tried to iron the skirt i wore tonight.

mom: really?

MK: yeah, um, it didn't turn out so well.

mom: you didn't burn it did you?

MK: no, no, i was really careful about that, kept the setting low. gave up after the first couple creases.

mom: well, you've made hummus and ironed. two domestic things in 24 hours.... that's an accomplishment.
