Hey there, shiny friends! Welcome to the first page of the Crystal Purity Diary, where I, Franklin, your pal who loves a clean floor, share the wild and funny stuff that happens at Crystal Purity Cleaning Co. Get ready for a story about a runaway floor buffer, a super confused intern, and a ton of feathers. Yep, feathers! Let’s jump in!
It was a bright Tuesday morning at our office, smelling like lemon cleaner and big plans. We were getting ready for a fancy law firm with marble floors so shiny you could see your face in them. The job was easy: make those floors sparkle like a disco ball. Simple, right? Well, meet Timmy, our new intern. He’s a sweet college kid with tons of energy but moves like a puppy on ice.
I gave Timmy the big welcome talk the day before: “Timmy, cleaning’s like painting a picture. You’re not just cleaning floors; you’re making them awesome!” He nodded so hard I thought he’d get dizzy. So, I handed him the keys to our floor buffer, “Betsy,” thinking he’d take it easy. Big mistake!
Next thing I know, I’m in the break room, sipping coffee and chatting with Maria, our team boss, about carpet stains. Suddenly, we hear a noise like a lawnmower gone wild. I look out, and there’s Timmy, holding onto Betsy for dear life as she zooms across the law firm’s lobby like it’s a racecar track. Papers are flying, plants are shaking, and Timmy’s face is half “help me!” and half “I’m doing great!”
“Timmy!” I shout, running over. “Slow down!” But Betsy’s got her own plans, dragging Timmy toward a glass case full of—get this—fancy old feather quills. The law firm loves them for their “classic lawyer vibe.” Before I can stop it, Betsy spins, Timmy squeaks, and CRASH—the case tips over. Feathers fly everywhere like we just popped a giant pillow!
For a second, everything’s quiet. Feathers float down like snow, and Timmy’s standing there, gripping Betsy, looking like he just lost his lunch. Maria’s laughing so hard she’s crying. “Franklin,” she says, “you said he’d make art, not a mess!”
I hit Betsy’s off switch, and she grumbles to a stop. Timmy’s apologizing like crazy, feathers stuck in his hair like he’s part bird. “I thought I had it!” he says. “The manual said ‘hold tight,’ so I held tight!” I pat his back, trying not to giggle. “Timmy, you held on like you were riding a bull!”
We spent the next hour cleaning up the feather mess—sweeping, vacuuming, and promising the law firm’s receptionist that their quills were okay. Turns out, the client thought it was hilarious and loved how fast we fixed it. They even signed a bigger contract, saying, “If you can handle that, you can handle our floors!”
So, what’s the lesson from this feather-crazy mess? Cleaning’s not just about shiny floors; it’s about laughing through the chaos and turning oopsies into fun stories. Timmy’s still with us, but he’s not allowed near Betsy until he learns the ropes. I like that kid, though—he’s got heart, even if he’s a bit too excited.

With a laugh and a mop,
