I have suspected this for some time but right now am fully aware and must admit to the fact that The Man and I are nerds. SPECTACULAR nerds. Last weekend we borrowed a friends Dyson vacuum cleaner. We have a vacuum cleaner of our own of course, but we feel the pressure to upgrade given all the tony models we see in our friend’s houses. Somehow our purple vacuum cleaner no longer fits in with this family.
It was a beautiful weekend and we should have had better things to do (think frozen drinks with little umbrellas by the pool on a day that wasn’t even 110 degrees!) but there we were with the Dyson. We didn’t believe our friends last Friday when they spoke with utter awe and amazement at the nastiness that their new Dyson had discovered and neatly delivered into a canister for quick and easy disposal. Borrow it they said. Then you’ll see.
We chuckled when they told us that they spent $600 for a vacuum cleaner. Laughed really, who spends that kind of money on a vacuum cleaner???
Um, looks like we do, that’s who.
The Man drove to their house Saturday morning and collected their latest prize possession. The rest of the day was a haze of us taking turns demonstrating our vacuum prowess while the other one would stare at the canister as it sucked ickiness from our carpets, furniture and drapes. We sat amazed as the canister filled rapidly, ultimately hoisting it over our heads in victory and shouting, “Disgusting!!!” We were amazed at the depth of the filth and squalor we were living in…although our house is one of the cleanest you will ever enter. Hair, dirt, general dander? We got some to spare! Who knew? Though we should be shocked we are utterly happy in our new found filth and our rock star ability to remove it.
The very best thing about it is it’s effect on the smaller people in our house. The kids thought it was pretty cool and actually didn’t mind vacuuming. The actually fight to take turns. It’s the end of summer and to be honest, I’m thankful they have something new to argue about after hearing three months of “He touched me!” and “She just called me a loser!” It’s all about introducing variety into the arsenal around here.
Also, did you know it’s entirely possible to vacuum a 38 lb pug?
This weekend will be spent playing with our new Dyson mainly because we can no longer afford to eat after buying it. As an added bonus, the house will be spotless when the housekeeper arrives early next week.
See? Everyone wins.
