OH MY GOSH!!!! I was ironing fabric this afternoon and I WAS THINKING ABOUT THOSE SPRINKLERS too!!! My mom used to sprinkle the shirts and roll them up gently...then she'd start ironing. I guess it allows the water to moisten the clothes all over. Great memories - I could see her doing it if I close my eyes . . . -
