My nephew (aged 3) really enjoys playing in my sand pit. However there is a reason why it is in the very back of our back yard… I don’t want sand in the house. I let him play in it just before bath time, that way I can carry him into the bath with a minimal amount of sand being brought into the house. For some reason I agreed to let him play in the pit before lunch time, my mind must have been elsewhere. Come lunch time and on my back door was one VERY sandy boy. I started wiping him down with my hand but that only got ME sandy. Then I spotted something hanging in my laundry…yes that would do the trick… the duster! I had him stand in a star jump position and I went to work. Two minutes later and a lot of giggling my nephew was sparkling clean. The duster worked a treat, I’m just glad I didn’t spot the vacuum cleaner first. That could have been interesting!
