Most of the warnings were the kind that are common sense (don't use with a damaged cord, don't let eyes or bare skin touch heated surfaces. I mean, really. Do we really need to be told not to touch the hot parts with our eyeballs?), or the kind I plan to ignore (appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in, SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS). But one baffled me. Zoom in. It's the one at the top.
That's right. It says Never use while sleeping.
Okay, call me ignorant, but I hadn't realized you COULD use it to straighten your hair while sleeping! I mean I've had dreams before where I thought I was getting ready for the day, but then I woke up to find out that I hadn't done ANYTHING.
But hold on. Some people can actually get ready for the day while they're sleeping?!
Dear Powers That Be,
I would like to add the Power To Get Ready While Still Sleeping to my wish list of super powers. Yep. Put it right there at number 137, right below Balancing My Checkbook Completely In My Brain. If you grant this super power to me, I solemnly swear that while I'm getting ready and still sleeping, I'll not use my new flat iron. I'll save that for when I'm awake.
Thank you for time and consideration.
Yours truly,
Peggy
Dang I hope the Powers That Be get to granting super power wishes soon! Because that one? Me want.
