. Y'all may recall that I have a great-newphew (two of them, actually*) who is infatuated with vacuum cleaners. When my parents moved into a managed care facility, my brother Noel (Bentley's grandfather) took their Electrolux Model L and he uses it down in their (finished) basement, most of which is a large rec-room area. Every time Bentley comes to visit Grandma and Grandpa, he wants to use the Electrolux. here's a photo and video they sent me today. ------- *Bentley's parents and grandparents are very tolerant of his love for vacuum cleaners. OTOH, my oldest brother's grandson Ian also showed "great interest" in vacuum cleaners. His parents humored him for a while, during the time he was undergoing treatment for leukemia (now in complete remission Thank God). But as soon as his treatments were over, they [with his grandpa's encouragement] took away all his toy vacuums (including a toy Miele that I had sent him) and all the pictures and videos on their computer and, instead, put a football in his hands. No girlie sweeper stuff for Ian. I hope they remember this in about 10-15 years when he's in therapy....... I was very sad when I heard about this and had to mightily resist the urge to send his parents and grandparents a stinging assessment of my feelings about their doing so. However, as it is, I already don't get along with that brother (at all); my comments would just enrage him and I'd get an earful right back telling me to BUTT OUT. And So It Goes.
