Well, caleb here just a bloggin. The picture you see here is the most recent problem in my life. Here is how the story goes... I was ironing my fairly wrinkled pants for the show tonight . I had finished one leg and laid the iron down flat, or I knocked it over without knowing it, on a nice coffee table in the church, as I raised the iron from its comfortably heated position on the desk this monster revealed itself. If you know what feeling legitamately dumb is like than you can relate to how I felt when this happened. All the billing issues are still being sorted out, so ill let you know when I know how that turns out. Well if you feel like to, you may pity me or write me a letter of encouragement to raise my degraded spirits, it would be much appreciated. 'til next time

See, that's why I don't get anywhere near irons. ;)
That, and the fact that people don't trust me with them....
Silly mistakes aside, thanks for the story!

Reminds me of the time my sister was pressing something on my parents bed...and burned the bedspread. After mom replaced the spread she decided the curtains really didn't match so they had to be replaced too. Then the color on the walls didn't quite go so the room had to be repainted...I don't think mom was too upset by all the redecorating but dad definately was NOT a happy human!

HAH!!!
I actually did something like that once- at our teen camp I set the iron down on the carpet, and after the smoke alarms went off and everyone was mad at me I found out I left a nice little mark in the middle of the room. Whoops!!!

Don't worry. It's ok. We advise you though to stay away from coffe tables and irons. They don't mix.

Do not feel bad. While we were at youth camp a friend of my knocked over her iron and burned a iron shaped whole in the carpet. Yep you guessed it the carpet stuck to the iron when she pulled it up. HMMM, I think a table burn might be easier and cheaper to fix than a room of carpet.

Hey to your credit you WERE ironing pants!! That's a lot more than most of us can say! Take it all to Jesus Caleb! John 16:33 says: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." It'll be okay - I promise! ; D

Hey there, I would just buy the table and sell it on ebay for some extraordinary amount, after all, you are the son of a superstar and I'm sure you are a rising superstar as well!

o my lord listen to this one. Once I ironed my shirt still on my body.you know walking out the door thought i'd get one last iron in and made that same mark on my chest. OUCH.and i've done that on my carpet,kitchen table,clothing it self. one would think I would get an ironing board by now but then what would i have to feel stupid about? o i'm sure there are many more things,i won't share them now. Stay Tuned

Hey Caleb,
I know this is a little late but, embrace the wrinkled look. The wrinkled look is always the best look. I wear it alll the time.

I am sorry this is like 2 years late but I just found this web site. My advice would have been (You sould have autographed it) They might have been able to sell it as a suvinour. Ha! Ha!
I do love your honesty.

One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning. Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Do you think so?
