June Cleaver, I Am Not

Pumpkin discovered an ancient item hiding behind our bathroom door this evening as we were getting ready for bed.

She pointed at it and exclaimed excitedly, "Look! It's a skateboard!"

"No," I said, "it's an ironing board."

"Yes!" She was still breathless, "an ironing board for the ocean!" Which in pre-schooler-speak means "surf board."

I don't even know how she knows what a skateboard or surfboard are (and they say those satellite programs fry their brains) but it's apparent she has NO IDEA what an ironing board is used for.

Which means either we never get any wrinkles in this house, or we don't have expensive enough clothes, or I just don't care. Can you guess which one(s)?
