Flippin’, Flappin’, Tidy, Floor Tiles

Saturday, May 17 – I haven’t written for a few days. I’ve been busy, such as a lot of picking up after the kids. They leave clothes, toys, comic books, etc. on the floor, all over the house. Well, those clean-up days are over now! I bought and installed those flailing, floor tiles (waving flagstone and wall-to-wall carpepult) that I mentioned a month ago.

They’re even better than I thought. The fluttering tidy tiles are thin and easy to lay and plug in. They accurately sense weight, and anything weighing less than a cat gets flipped and flapped until it eventually ends up on a bed, chair, dresser, etc. Of course, Kitty is busy learning to keep all of her paws on one tile at a time.

Each tile is designed so that it randomly engages hinges on different edges, so that when the electric motor makes it fly up at a 45 degree angle, any debris is flung in haphazard directions. And unlike other popular brands, these tiles have the patented Accordion Seal to keep flipped rubbish from falling under a tile.

When the kids want to play on the floor, I can turn off the system in that room. That’s what I forgot to do yesterday when my lover surprised me with a visit. A trail of clothes illustrated our hasty path to the bed. Then our lovemaking turned to laughter as pants, socks and underwear fluttered and flew around and upon us.
