Iron

"Iron the dress" she told me. "Make sure to get all the wrinkles."

Granma used to use one of those old heavy irons, that was actually made of iron. She'd heat it on the stove, and then sprinkle water on the clothes, and then press them smooth. The iron was so heavy, I could barely lift it with my weak 6 year old arms.

She used to tell me stories, while we were ironing, about how her Mom would use the iron 30 years ago, and iron out clothes just the same way as she did.
