The Garden Gnome and The Trailer Troll Dear Blog:
I love my roomba. I really do. It has made vacuuming a breeze. However, there is one thing that the roomba cannot do, which I realized after noticing the thick layer of dust on my lamp shades. I don't have an extendable vacuum, but lucky for me, my mom does, and like a garden gnome, she lives in my yard.

I stepped out, knocked on her trailer, asked to borrow her vacuum, and ignored an earful about how I never stop by unless I want something.

Blah, blah, etc.

I then hastily made off with her vacuum.

After vacuuming my lampshades, I brought the vacuum back to my mother and said, "You see, Mom: I don't only stop by when I want something. I stop by to return things too."

I just realized: like a vacuum, I suck.

Walking away slowly, with head hung low,
