that's my boy


Before the bean-bag incident Ruben called the vacuum cleaner a "dragon" and would keep his distance. Then he saw all the little white balls being sucked up and ... what a great game. Yesterday we almost had a fight over which of us got to hoover (oh, I decided to be big about it and acquiesced) and he cleaned the sitting room like a professional; swapping attachments, extra care in corners, pulling out chairs, getting in all those hard to reach places. He then unplugged it and wound up the cord. I realised how observantly he must have been watching me. I felt such a glow of pride, and admiration...then this sinking feeling, christ what else has he been taking in?

...And if ever you´ld pass by Stockholm you can come and play with my little Noak and our black vaccum-cleaner. Noak loves vaccum-cleaning as well. According to your mom I realize yo could teach him quite alot in the field!
