*My*
wedding shower. People gathering to give *me* gifts because *I'm*
getting married.
It's
a beautiful day when people spend money to give someone (me) gifts
from a major department
store (one with high stock prices and tremendous jumps in third
quarter earnings).
Toaster
oven, check. Pressure cooker, check. Stainless steel cutlery set,
check. Mikasa china place setting for ten, check.
Black
& Decker Dustbuster...check?
"Thought
you'd like it, Anya. It's a great weapon for fighting dustbunnies."
Dustbunnies?
Now
they come made of dust?
The
better to sneak up and kill you, my dear!
"Dustbunnies
are the biggest enemy of housewives, you know."
"But,
what are they? What do they do?"
They're
all smiling, like they're in on some big joke. Bunnies are a threat,
don't they know?
I
laugh it off. I know what dustbunnies are.
Well,
the Dustbuster would make a good blunt instrument.
And
now I'm armed. Dust (and other) bunnies, beware.
