Henry's fears
Lola regarded Henry, our three year old tabby. "Henry is afraid of two things: rollerskates and brooms. I caused both fears", she said gravely. After further reflection, Lola added, "Henry is also afraid of being intense. I caused that, too."
Nope, any vacuum cleaner issue doesn't come from me. Like nature, I abhor a vacuum. Although I sweep and occasionally mop, I leave the vacuuming for the beleaguered Sober Husband.
Like you, Ms. Pants only sweeps and mops. For the simple reason that the kitchen floor shouldn't be vacuumed and, of course, she's not allowed out of the kitchen.
How does Henry feel about vacuum cleaners? You can blame Momdude for that one.
