After sweeping up with the greatest of ease with my cool, new broom yesterday, I set the broom aside next to it's inferior predecessor, and I had to give a little chuckle. What a loser, I thought.
How this guy can even call himself a broom anymore is laughable. It's wooden handle has a slight curve from months of the same sweep, sweep, sweeping motion. Shorter, bristles unkempt, it looks so pathetic next to the new one.
The new Arix broom has sleek shiny black bristles and a rubber bumper to protect your furniture. It stands tall on it's own!
Indeed, my new broom is giving the old one an inferiority complex. I think it would be better to put the old guy out of his misery and put him on balcony duty.

ReplyDeletehaha, love it! Poor guy-I thought the story would have a happy ending for him, but he gets balcony duty-doesn't even get to retire after all the hard work he's done. Well, I guess that's Egypt!! Nothing ever retires! Thanks for the laugh!

ReplyDeleteOk, Mones, reading this post just knocked me out of my ugh mood, it was hilarious... I almost felt like I could feel the what the broom was feeling... if that makes sense... Anyway I am gonna share it with some students for a creative writing sparker... you are refreshing.
ReplyDeleteEman, I'm so glad it changed your mood and flattered you'd use it! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMona, Can you believe I took Tyler to Ikea and he was devastated when they were out identical brooms? He is such a helper, he wants to sweep up. I think the fun however, is in making the biggest mess possible BEFORE he sweeps! hehe

Liz, That's cute, I know what you mean. Kid's at that age want to clean up but mostly it's the messes they're good at!
