Late Hopes

P has started keeping the broom erect - instead of lying on the floor as usual - when he finishes sweeping in the night. I watched it for a couple of days and then asked him about the new trend. He paused and sheepishly said his mother had mentioned long ago that if you kept the broom on the floor it led to husband and wife fighting. I couldn't help laughing. But I wonder why he thought of that now, after all these years, especially when our fights are at an all-time low. Better late than never?

I should tell my mother about it I guess. It may help her.
