a little revelation/realization

Sunday morning, trying to pick an outfit to wear to church and realized i really need to iron my linen clothes if i want to wear them. I went to the closet and took out the iron board. Never used to iron my clothes cuz i thought it's such a waste of time to have to iron my clothes. I tried to stay away from buying clothes that need ironing, except linens cuz i just love it so much. As i was ironing my shirt and pant, i realized something. I am fearful of the iron!! The iron somehow just makes me scare cuz i am afraid that i would burn myself. I am constantly making sure that the iron is put down correctly, or that it's away from me. Then I realized something!! I hate to iron cuz i was burn by an iron when i was little. For some reason, i was thinking how as a child i was quite reckless (this came to mind when i was ironing my sunday's clothes). I would try to do everything myself and sometimes not realizing how dangerous it can be (as a child). My parents can attest to this cuz i probably burn, hurt myself in many ways as a child. Anyhow, this morning, i realized that the underlying reason why i made up so many excuses to not iron is probably because i was burn pretty bad as a child when i tired to iron my own shirt. Plus, after i burned myself, i was afraid that i would get into trouble, so i tired to hide my injury from my parents. Of course that didn't last very long cuz i think i left the iron, and the iron board out. So, long story short, i don't have a scar from it, but i do remember burning two big spots on my forearm with the iron and it really really hurted. One mystery solved...
