This bed sheet is one of my favorite bed sheets, and also happens to be made by my mom. She sewed an entire set of bed sheet and pillow cases from the same kind of cloth which I chose from the textile shop. This bed sheet is of a copper orange color, with white swirls that sometimes look life C and G clefs. The hole is as big as my thumb, and upon seeing it, I had absolutely no idea what happened.

I had to cut a lock of my own hair because something orange-y was stuck to it. Hmmm, wonder where that came from?

Two seemingly separate cases. How am I to solve these crimes in just one day?!?!

But lo and behold! By simply donning my Sherlock Holmes hat, I was able to find the culprit in no time.

See that little red spot that looks like rust? That is no rust! That’s my bed sheet!

In an attempt to look nice for future events, I tried my luck with curling my hair. A few months ago, I borrowed this curling iron from Mcoy, and never had the chance to return it. Since today was boredom day, I came up with a spontaneous thought: Why don’t I curl my hair?

So I took the iron out of its cave and ironed away. Since I don’t have my own vanity table, I tried curling my hair using my bed for a table. It was all going fine until I discovered that a part of my bed sheet was gone. Out of habit, I ran my hand through my hair and discovered something was stuck there. I tried removing the stuck thingy, but it wouldn’t budge: apparently, it was burned onto my hair. When I looked at the curler, it had a rust-colored spot on one side. I tried smelling it, and it smelled like burning flesh. Definitely not rust. Just look at the picture (last one): on the rightmost part of the spot, instead of being rust-colored, it’s white. definitely my bed sheet there!

As of this moment, the rusty spot on the curler is already gone. The part of my bed sheet burned by the iron has been reduced to a plastic-like substance, which is a bit depressing. My hair is a bit shorter in one area, although you can never tell (neither can I, actually). Lastly, the HOLE!!! OH, THE HORRIBLE HOOOOLLLE!!!!!

I’ve learned my fair share of lessons for today. First, is to style your hair on a real table. The probability of getting something burned on a stable table (nice rhyme!) is smaller than that on a wobbly bed. Second, is that karma works in mysterious ways. If you never return something to its rightful owner, that thing is going to work against you. Lastly, I have to buy a better curling iron. If a cheap iron could do that to my bed sheet, how much more to my hair?!?!?
