The Wonder Mop

  Many years ago, when I was a stay at home mom, I was woooed by an infomercial for the Wonder Mop. I remember the 1st time I saw the ad. I was up predawn, tending to some mommy function.My husband was leaving for work, I stopped him, hoping he would be as impressed as I was." Honey, look! Isn't it Wonderful, can we get one?"

  Now consider my situation. We were struggling on a single income. My husband was more interested in hunting and fishing equiptment. But I think he was considerate of my needs too. He was aware of the endless mopping up after toddlers that was my calling at the time.Maybe the Wonder Mop could change our lives. Maybe if my mopping duties were reduced, I would have more time to ...well you know what husbands are thinking. He agreed that the Wonder mop was a product that we needed. And even suggested that I purchase the exta heads for the low introductory price of 29.99.

 My memory could be foggy, but I am pretty sure I recieved the Wonder Mop in less than a week. I was so excited! At last a product that will enhance my housekeeping skills.

 I'm going to skip past all that excitement crap now and tell you the Wonder Mop SUCKED! I think I used it twice, and threw it out with the trash. How could I have been fooled? what made me think I could improve on my old cotton rag mop?

 Sometimes you learn, the hard way, that you were doing it right all along, and no newfangled product can take the place of elbow grease.
