Hi. I'm Dyson, the hard-working, floor-cleaning accessory in this non-bug-eating household. I am plugged in daily, and never feel neglected. My owner has even referred to me once or twice as her sexy cleaning companion. However, even with all this love, I have one major problem. I am homeless, usually left alone in the foyer, as there is no closet to call my own. The downstairs closet used to be called home, until a sudden shoe reorganization kicked me out a few months ago. With the upstairs closet dedicated to linens, I am now left to wander aimlessly throughout the day. It's ok, though- really it is. It allows me to join in family activities, even if it is in the background.
I enjoy watching male bonding in the foyer from time to time.
I also serenade Brooke on occasion as she listens to her music.
I help comfort Lydia in the car carrier just before outings.
(I know- I barely made it into the picture. But don't the floors look clean and shiny?)
I like to oversee the older girls make a castle out of blankets and pillows.
And I watch Isaac play with his mommy while she snaps a few pictures.
Yes, I love this family. I work hard to keep their floors dirt-free, and thoroughly enjoy being a part of the action, even if it is in the background. Maybe one day I will find a closet or space to call my own. (I mean, really- is it my fault that just weeks after I was purchased, my makers released a smaller, lighter version of myself?) Until then, look for me hidden in the background on future blog postings. I'll be sure to say hello.
Dear McCollam Dyson,
ReplyDeleteYou always look great, but I pray one day your mom will give you a home. I mean, it's only fair. I hope she hasn't left you homeless out of resentment because you are not the newer, younger model that's available now!!!
Love,
The Owner of a Much Larger Dyson Than You and Mine Still Has a Home
This was hillarious! Thanks for the laugh Michelle, you are an awesome write, I just hoped to be as good as you someday.
ReplyDeleteI decided to write this one after looking at my pictures one night and realizing how many had the vacuum cleaner randomly in the background. Thank you Sande! You have a great blog- the first phone call post is definitely my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I really enjoyed reading this -- you should write a book -- it would sell, sell, sell!! For real! :)
