Dedicated to My Grandfather

As I was cleaning my kitchen (yes, I was actually cleaning)...I thought of my grampa. There were a bunch of crumbs on my counter. Who needs a cutting board for bread...right? Okay, there were quite a bit of crumbs on the counter. So, instead of trying to brush them off the counter into the trashcan and thereby spilling them all over the floor, I followed my grampa's example. I whipped out my vacuum and sucked up every last crumb. For those who aren't family members...let me explain. When my grampa was newly widowed, he was dealing with bachelor life. He was eating toast. Toast makes crumbs in the toaster, right? Well...just how are you supposed to get the crumbs out of the toaster? Vacuum is clearly the only option. Later it was explained to him that there is a removable tray meant for that very purpose. Don't worry...he has since remarried and has learned A LOT!!!! So grampa: that was for you!
