True! I found one for really cheap at Target, and the ironing board
cover is really colorful, so it looks cheery in my room.
I can also park it behind my desk when I grade artwork and lower it
down so it makes a nice shelf for sorting graded papers for handing
back.
As I was carrying it into the building, the principal said, "You bring
the strangest things to school!"
