Kyle Krichbaum

          Kyle Krichbaum is completely obsessed with vacuum cleaners. Keep in mind this is also a twelve year old boy. He has over one hundred and fifty vacuums in his massive collection which are new and used. I'm sure that if you ever asked him about it he would give you a cogent reason, but don't expect it to be a poignant one. I'm sure that most of us already have an idea of how his social life is going, but he seems happy with it.
        Kyle has been obsessed with vacuums for over eleven years. He states that every time he gets a new vacuum he is always left with a effusive expression on his face. His parents, who seem to still cohesively believe its just a phase, say that his love for vacuums is not very convoluted. " He just loves to hear the sound of the vacuum, that's why he vacuums five times a day." While questioning his father, I asked if Kyle's obsession ever got a little hackneyed, his response was extreme but not very unsurprising. "It can get a bit annoying at times, especially his four in the morning tidy up, but I guess you have to think of the old adage 'don't kill the boy or you will get arrested.'"
       It was the florid speech of his mother that I found most didactic. " We love our dearest Kyle so much that we can overcome the constant vacuuming and collecting that he loves so much. We have a rapport that he will go to college and not just vacuum the house all day. If he has bad grades, we lock up the vacuums in the basement until he makes them better."  I think that Kyle's parents have parenting down, they use his love for vacuums to make his life better. While his parents may be supportive, his older sister of fifteen has other ideas.
        " I hate all his vacuuming! I never invite friends over any more because of it. How is he going to get friends if all he ever does is talk about vacuums?" Even though the annoying girl may have a point, I find Kyle Krichbaum very interesting. Who else would care so much about something as normal as vacuums and collect them? Plus, I could probably talk him into vacuuming my house every once and a while for free. Who knows, Kyle could have a future after all. This is Repor Ter with channel 11 news, good night.
