They sent me the wrong ironing board cover, fish instead of flowers, but I figured it wasn’t worth returning. It still worked, after all. But looking at it made me want to get a fishtank, and looking at the fish made me want to go scuba diving, and learning to dive gave me a feeling of freedom I’ve never had before. But I still have to iron, and the fish cover has worn out, and I’m a little bit scared of what might happen next.
