Eager to Help

Why is it that when you're 5 years old...using a vacuum cleaner sounds like soooo much fun....yet when you're 32 years old it's not something you jump up and down with excitement to do? 

 

Brody was so excited when I told him he could vacuum his own room....and Barrett threw himself on the floor crying when I told him that he could "help me" (ie. not do it by himself).  What can I say?  Our vacuum probably weighs more than Barrett!  I tried to let him do it himself and he could hardly push it!
