Me too. We had a water filled soda bottle with a perforated metal top on it that you used to sprinkle what needed to be ironed. Then you rolled it up and waited a bit for it to overall dampen before ironing.Yes, I remember ironing as a young child. My mom would set up the ironing board in the kitchen and ironed just about everything. I don't remember her teaching me but having watched her over and over again I got the hang of it.
