I heard her in the bedroom...grumbling. "This darn thing. I just don't know why you buy these chemicals."
What's the matter?
"The can of dusting stuff. How does it work?
What do you mean? I round the corner and there she stood glaring at the aerosol can of Endust.
"I've been twisting and twisting this top and I can't get the stuff to come out."
Mom, it's a spray can.
"A what?"
A can that you push the top and spray it out.
"Where does it come out at?"
See that little nozzle? You hold the can, press the top button and out comes the stuff.
"How much comes out?"
It depends on how long you hold down the button.
"This is silly. Why not just screw off the top, pour some on the rag and be done with it?"
Because it's an aerosol can.
"What a waste of time with these new gadgets! I could have been done an hour ago."
And so it goes...
