This is spooky, but my Mom just called me and told me to get my broom, and try to stand it up by itself. I said,"Mom, there is no way that my broom will stand on its own. Its old, and wore out." She said,"To just try it." She said to help balance it, and then let go. it worked!!
She said its something to do with every 99 yrs., the moon, and gravity alignment or something.
Ha, I did it, too! Freaky! I made Chow get out of bed to come look at it!
At first I thought it was some kind of witch joke she was going to tell you! "Go get your broom."

I don't know. She wasn't revealing a lot of skin or anything, aside from her miniskirt!
I read a little on it after I tried it, and some say it has to do with the gravitation pull, and the way the planets are aligned, or something.
I called my MIL, and she about fell over, when she got her broom to stand.
Do we do it with the bristles side down - as if we were sweeping?

So did I. I thought,"ok...I`m ready for this one...the day after Halloween and all".....
What did Chow say when he saw your broom standing by itself? Something like..."You woke me up for this?"

We're trying it now.
Ha, that's how I did it. If it works the other way, I'll really get wigged out! You do have to balance it first, like yankee said. I started to feel like a fool for even trying, but after a couple of seconds, it worked.
Chow says he's getting nervous with all of us "broads" getting our brooms. He says it's like something out of that movie Practical Magic! LOL!
Poor Chow...I am done with my broomstick for this year...I am going to the All Saints Day Service this evening so hopefully that will help rid me of my evil ways! Nothing like paying homage to saints and martyrs to get rid of thine evil ways

Yes, it went something like this:
"(Chow!) Come here! Look at this!"
"What?"
"Just come look!"
"What for?"
"Just come here! Hurry!"
"What is it?"........
You get the idea. His response was basically, "WTF?"

I am rolling with laughter here...this is so weird, and funny at the same time. I`m glad your broom stood up for you too!
