Currently we own five brooms and three dustpans, inside the house. Then there's the two outdoor brooms. No outdoor dustpans. Of our five brooms one broomstick is broken at the perfect height for a three-foot tall person to sweep with (which we have one of) and another broomstick is broken at a perfect height for a four-foot tall person to sweep with (which we have one of, also).
Broomsticks and doorknobs are two things which our family uses everyday. A lot. Practically every time we turn around. That is why when we purchase broomsticks and doorknobs we are very particular about quality and replacement costs.
Our front door has a doorknob on it that the previous owners did not care about either quality or replacement costs. The door gets opened and closed at least four times every ten minutes. The doorknob is now revolting against either use. Sometimes it simply locks itself, as if to say to us "you crazy people! In OR out, it's not that difficult! That's it! I'm done!"
I currently have all five brooms in use by someone somewhere on the premise. And the door is opening and sometimes shutting, but never latching.
This means one thing to me...they are all healthy! Sick people can't run in and out every waking moment. Sick people don't destroy doorknobs. Sick people aren't sweeping inside and outside, and sometimes for fun. Sick people do not use a broom so much that it bends and breaks.
What could be an annoyance, is...in my case...peace of mind.
Thank you, God, for a healthy and energetic family!
Thank you, God, for doorknobs and broomsticks!
