The Christmas vacuum story

... of 2011

by Carol Nelson

So I called my daughter to tell her that my Hoover sweeper had bit the dust and had been tossed
out to which she replied you mean the nice little red one I gave you in 2005 and I said No you
never gave me a nice little red sweeper vac your brother did and she said No she did and we went
back and forth for a while not resolving the problem and so I called my son who was at a party
at the time and asked him did he or did he not give me a nice little red vac in 2005 but I
returned it because it was very loud and scared my cat and he had no idea but his friend the
host of the party asked him was he speaking to his Mom and what did she want and he said I had
vac trouble and his friend in a generous mood said oh I have a nice little silver one with a
brand new belt I will be happy to give her and to make a long story short when I got home from
the YMCA today there it stood in the middle of my beige linoleum kitchen floor ready to go so I
fired her up. Merry Christmas to me.
