Vacuuming early in life?

Huh, lots of people with fish.

Fish? They were of my Eureka canister vac collection.

I meant about Herbicide, sorry for the confusion.

At about age three or four, I became fascinated with our Lewyt canister. It was the model that was shaped like a fireplug, had a bright pink motor unit up top, and charcoal gray 'can' below, where the dirt collected. It also had casters underneath to make it easy to pull around by the hose. Not too great for the hose, but oh well. I quickly learned to take it apart and configure it with the various tools. It had no power nozzle and I didn't even know canisters/tanks came with such things until I was in my 30s, when my grandmother's Eureka Princess PowerTeam was passed down to me, but that's another story. When I was little, that Lewyt was the first 'big' machine I learned to become the master of. It was empowering for a toddler with ADHD.

This is what I have always wondered started it all. My profile picture is me when I was probably 4 maybe 5 apparently whenever my mom would vacuum I would beg to help. I didn't start collecting or anything else like that until I was 19, 20 but have vague memories of pushing around that old dirt devil as well as vacuuming the stairs with the old hand vac model 103.

Matchine machines, nice.
