You have a problem: Let’s assume that you’ve been convinced to get a robotic vacuum cleaner. Well, what are you going to do with your old traditional vacuum cleaner?



I’ve found a solution. Now this may not work for everyone, but . . . well, it’s a funny story, so I thought I’d share it.



Everyone knows how fussy babies can drive all those around them to the edge. Well, “How Do You Calm a Crying Baby?” (http://www.cryingbabystories.com) was created so people could share some of their stories about and techniques for calming a crying baby. And, one of the stories involves — you guessed it — a vacuum cleaner.



A Pediatrician just told me about one creative Mom who found out that her fussy baby could only be soothed by the loud sounds of a vacuum cleaner! Unfortunately for this sleep deprived Mom her apartment complex neighbors did not appreciate hearing the vacuum cleaner at all hours of the night. To appease her neighbors and her fussy baby she decided to record the rumbling sound of the vacuum cleaner. This smart Mom was then able to soothe her baby by playing the recording at a reasonable volume. She was able to calm her crying baby and no longer disturb the neighbors!!



I guess it’s more convenient than driving your baby around the block until she falls asleep in the car. And, it’s one way to use your old vacuum when you decide to replace it with (speaking of more convenient!) a robotic vacuum cleaner.
