Out of all the chores I’ve had to do in my household vacuuming has never been my favorite. I do agree that a vacuum cleaner is a fabulous invention, which has helped majorly to keep homes spotless. Other than that advantage I have never heard of anyone interested in a vacuum cleaner to a fuller extension.
Kyle Krichbaum is a 12-year-old boy that is interested in vacuum cleaners to that fuller extension. He has collected 150 vacuum cleaners and can identify each one from just their sound. I would have to say that this is a strange but is definetly a talent. Kyle has been to Hollywood taping a game-show pilot where he had to compete against other contestants blindfolded and correctly identify vacuum models.
As a child Kyle would follow his parents around as they vacuumed. I find this incredibly strange considering children are usually afraid or dislike loud noices and run the other way when a vacuum cleaner is on. Like any parent Kyle’s mother and father thought he would grow out of his interest but the older he got the stronger his interest became. Kyle has now been invited to appear on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, and has a goal to own his very own vacuum shop.
This is very odd. I can’t believe a young boy would be interested in vaccuums! Maybe a girl, but not a boy…
Your pick of this story is a good choice. It’s a little comical and fun to read. Good paragraph describing his odd interest!

That is weird because I hate the sound of vacuums and I try to block out the sound. This is kind of funny and very interesting. It would be cool to be on Jay Leno but it would be weird to have everyone know that you are obsessed with vacuums.
