Late Night Visitor

I'm not sure how many others have had this experience, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. A couple of nights ago we heard a knock on our door at about 9:00 at night. I opened the door and there was a woman standing there. She said she was with Kirby and they were just going around the neighborhood cleaning people's carpets and proceeded to ask if I would like my carpets cleaned. This is quite coincidental because I had just told Nate the night before that I wanted to clean mine. I asked her what the catch was and she said that I only needed to tell my friends and family about it if I liked the finished product. We were just putting our boys to bed and I wasn't sure this was the best time, but she assured me it wouldn't take long and they were just doing one room. So I agreed. Nate wasn't exactly happy with me letting strangers into our house this late, but I really really wanted my dining room carpets cleaned. I knew I was in trouble about fifteen minutes into it when she was giving me a demonstration of every attachment and how they (all 100 of them) worked. Halfway through I was ready to tell her to leave, but I had wasted so much time that I didn't want her to go without doing the one thing that she was supposed to do. At 11:30 PM after I had been hounded for two and a half hours to buy a $2,300 vacuum, she finally left and I had one room with nice clean carpets. Nate had already went to bed and when I went up he asked me two questions. Did I buy anything and did I learn my lesson? Yes! Nothing is for free.
