“Mrs Baxter’s a bit obsessive about our ironing…” Michael states as he places the second pair of box-pleated culottes on the ironing board. “She detests seeing tramlines!” He adds as he carefully lines up the pleats.
“Those shorts don’t look easy to iron.” His aunt observed.
“They’re not too bad.” He replied as he gave each crease a good blast of steam. “I’ve got the hang of it now.” He says as he double checks them, before turning them over and ironing the reverse.
“You certainly have.” She replies, impressed at his effort.
Michael receives the complement well and clips the box pleated culottes to a second hanger. “This is the worst though.” He smiles as he places his burgundy PE skort on the ironing board. “Apparently the PE skirts are much easier.”
“Well, I’m sure they are.” His mother replied. “You wouldn’t have to work around the legs on a skirt.”
