So I always have been annoyed at those vacuum commercials of the stay-at-home-mom vacuuming with orgasmic excitement. I felt they were playing into the stereotypical role models and woman as wife and homemaker with no greater joy or goals in life than a freshly cleaned carpet. It was contrived happiness based on a patriarchal idea of womankind.
I was wrong.
She is truly and blissfully happy to be vaccuming. You want to know why? Because the noise of the vaccum drowns out the temper tantrum of the toddler in the background.
And some days, there is no greater pleasure.
