No matter how many times he tried to get it to suck up into the vacuum, it wasn’t going anywhere. “What are you doing, Dudley?” Sloane asked as he walked into the living room. “Trying to get this stain up, but it won’t budge.” “D, that’s hardwood flooring, and the stain is actually faded wood.” Turning the vacuum off, D stared down at the stain. “But, how am I going to get that out of there?” he asked and then shoved the vacuum aside, running to grab soap and water. That should help. “If I can’t get it out, we’ll tear up the floor and lay new wood.” “Whoa, slow down,” Sloane said as he grabbed D by his waist. “It gives the floor character. Let it be.” D wiggled free and ran into the kitchen, seeing a dirty bowl and spoon in the sink, so he ran to make some water. Once the bowl and spoon were clean, he didn’t want to waste a sinkful of suds, so he started grabbing clean dishes from the cupboard to rewash.
