The gathering behind the sofa

This is a very serious warning – no matter how tempted you are to do so, DO NOT look behind your sofa. You will not like what you see. In a cleaning blitz this past weekend, I decided to pull forward the sofa and tidy up behind it. BAD IDEA! For an area that gets very little traffic, I could not believe what was back there. The amount of dust was unbelievable. Where is all of this dust coming from – and why is it forming a support group behind the sofa? Why not in the middle of the corridor were I can see it and vacuum it up? Those clumps have the “cute” name of dust bunnies. I don’t know who would want to give dust a fun name, but there is nothing fun about dust bunnies. They don’t eat carrots, bring eggs at Easter, or ask “What’s up doc?”
