Direction Connection

The last post was Rebecca’s attempt to encourage Josie to communicate about her relationship with Rebecca’s new toy. The new toy is a robotic vacuum. Yes, my techie-geek girlfriend has actually insisted that we invest in a robot to vacuum our floors (avid readers of our blog will take note that this is in keeping with the pay-someone-else-to-mow-our-yard theme). The contraption is called the iRobot Roomba Discovery Vacuuming Robot. Rebecca convinced me to make this purchase because (1) we got 20% off at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and (2) she put it on her credit card at 0% interest, so we don’t actually need to pay for it until August.

I was initially unconvinced of the wisdom of this purchase, but it’s turned out to be a very good thing for me, because Rebecca is now taking an unprecedented degree of responsibility for the welfare of our floors. I will now be researching any and all gadgets that might motivate her to clean other aspects of the house…a scumbuster for the tub? A gadget related to scooping the cat litter? The possibilities seem endless. Stay tuned…
