Katie the Domestic Goddess

I don't know about you, but I am pretty much the sweeper of the house. If you have not yet earned this coveted title in your home, my post today will enlighten you as to how you can make it your very own. Today I was able to witness just what an example I have been.

James and I were chatting after dinner and in comes Katie holding the broom almost like a javelin, running pretty much full force, making this kind of growling sound. After a few rounds with the broom up high, she began dropping it down to touch the ground every now and then...and the growling sound never really stopped.

Can I tell you how proud I am?! I mean, here she is following the example of her mom. The javelin approach to sweeping is not one that many people have adapted as their own, but evidently it did not slip by my sweet little domestic goddess. I mean, who really needs to touch the broom to the floor anyway- evidently I've taught my family that all you really need to do is run around quickly so you LOOK busy, make a sweeping swishy sound every now and then so you SOUND very busy, and then growl subtly about all the work your doing...and voila! Everyone deems you the sweeper and decides that your result is as good a job as any...and at least it's better than having to do it yourself. ha ha (And really, WOULD YOU approach a woman with a broom who's growling? I think not.) So! If anyone would like lessons in how to make sweeping your job and your job only, you may request lessons from my little lady.
