Yes, I have slaves. Most people call them small kitchen appliances and such, but I call them slaves. In essence, they do the same things. They accomplish menial tasks in this household with minimal Mommy supervision. And, they assist the Blossoms in learning how to work. So, without further ado, here's a favorite slave of mine - - - - - -
the Dustbuster!
He efficiently demolishes small messes in a single swipe. Scooter (#2) is the main overseer/owner/operator of Dustbuster man. She uses him regularly to clean up the seed mess underneath Ransom's cage (Ransom is our Cockatiel. He's named after Dr. Ransom from C.S. Lewis' space trilogy. Daddy got to name him since he's a BOY bird.) I digress. Scooter uses Dustbuster man to get rid of all the non-refridgeratable meal leftovers. You know, the ones that are left behind on Blossoms' chairs. Scooter wields Dustbuster man to take care of the sandbox that travels indoors to the laundry room/back door entry area. And then, Skeeter and Skipper use Dustbuster man at a moments' notice whenever Mommy commands. Dusbuster man has been on staff here for only 4 years or so. He has many more years to come in his Blossom Household career. When the Blossoms have established their own households and he's considering retirement, we'll sing, "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" in his honor.
