Is it a crime if I don't sweep?

About a year after Phollower and I moved into our house here in the Midwest (about 6 years ago), we had a large group of friends over. One of their children lost a toy behind our refrigerator. The child's parent, AK, and I tried to get the toy out but could not reach it. AK had the brilliant idea to use the broom handle to fish it out. I went to get the broom from the closet. But there was no broom in the closet. I searched around a bit, the usual places, places where I thought a broom might be kept. No luck. So I discreetly (I thought) went and asked Phollower where the broom was. He went to get it. When AK saw Phollower coming with the broom, she exclaimed "You don't know where you keep the broom in your house!" Turns out Phollower had moved it shortly after we moved in, and since he is the cleaner, I did not even notice! I still get crap for that little incident.

*sigh* I wish I didn't know where the broom was kept.

Ask BP were the broom is. I bet she doesn't know.
