Tell me what you really think.
When my youngest son was in about Second Grade he had heard from school all about condoms....so one day when driving through McDonald's drive up window he says "Mommy...why does McDonalds have condoms at the drive up window?"...aka condiments...think we taught our kids right!?!?!?!
Blogging suggestion to a friend: Please consider placing a warning above posts such as this! A simple, "swallow beverage before reading," might help.
Proving that your son is not alone: When the young son of a friend of mine was first introduced to the board game Monopoly, he lifted up the little playing piece that is the iron, and asked his parents "what's this?"
Have I mentioned that I love ironing? Simply love it. Please, invite me over, I will bring my own ironing supplies and you can offer wrinkled clothing and good conversation. Deal?
Laughing my behind off!!! My son will be in the SAME boat when he starts school. Iron? Ironing board?
My mother likes to tell a story about a family friend who was amused that we girls were taught to refer to a certain part of the anatomy as "bowels" and to refer to human waste as "BM." She was so amused that she called one of her own young sons over to ask how his bowels had been... he had no idea what she was talking about.
When my daughter was just 3, she got testing to see if she needed a developmental kindergarten. She was given line drawings to identify and there were several she could not identify, which very much concerned the tester. They were a ham, a Christmas tree, and an iron.
She had never seen any of these items in her life, either! Can you saw culturally biased?
I'm passing this story along to my wife. She will LOVE it. She HATES to iron. 
My kids have probably never seen an ironing board either; I am opposed to ironing on general principle. (and I can't do it worth beans!)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! THAT was a GREAT story!
I end up ironing IN more wrinkles than I get OUT, so if something needs to be pressed, I take it to the cleaners. Better to spend 5 bucks to get something professionally ironed than 35 to have to replace it because I've wrecked it...
We went to a hotel last year and my 5 year old asked us why there was a surfboard in the closet. Funny enough on its own but we live in New England and she has STILL seen surfboards more often than ironing boards in her life.
haw haw
LOL -- to this day, my daughter (age 26) does not know where the iron is kept at my house and she does not own one herself!
(She does, however, know where the ironing board is kept only because whenever she tries to get a coat out of the hall closet it jumps out and bops her on the head.)
Her boyfriend once asked her to iron a shirt for him -- you should have HEARD the laughter that ensued from that one.
here too- the last time the iron came out at our house (to set some adhesive, NOT to iron!) 3 of the 4 who were verbal at the time asked what it was!
Now that's the way to buy clothes!!
