Meghan, You are ready to marry now...

This morning at breakfast I asked if I could use the iron to press my shirt. My host mother and father were very surprised by my request and asked if I knew how to use the iron. When I explained that I always iron my own clothes, they were very surprised. My host mother brought the iron into the living room and they all watched me iron my shirt. My host father commented on my ironing abilities and told me that because I already know how to cook and iron, I am ready to marry. I laughed and told him that instead of knowing how to cook and iron as reasons to marry, I should probably meet the man first.

I went back to my room to change and could hear the family in the living room making "oohh ahh" sounds. I came out to see my host father showing the children how to iron a handkerchief with the iron unplugged. He said that he was demonstrating by using the "left over heat" from the iron. I think that the children were very surprised by seeing their dad iron, instead of mom. My family is so cute!
