She Irons


Alisar(verb) - to iron, polish, smooth

¨Hi, this is my friend from the United States. Her name is she irons¨

Yes, most people in this country agree that Alisa is a ridiculous name for a person (especially for a person who wears such wrinkled clothes). Therefore, most people have defaulted to calling me Alicia.

Today Patricia showed me a blonde-haired girl in her daughter´s Disney book Alicia en El País de Las Maravillas and said ¨She likes adventures too. This is why we call you Alicia!¨

I think it´s fitting. I´m the one who wandered into this rabbit hole afterall.

I like Alicia. I have never seen you with an iron and I imagine if you used one, it would have something more to do with a waxy art project than making clothes smooth. This is a compliment. By the way, I miss you heaps, as the kiwis would say.

Yes yes yes. How fitting Alicia in the rabbithole. Oooooh, I miss my primitos Colombianos. Take good care of them until I arrive.
