And of course, as any adult knows, you can't have cheese without some sort of alcohol beverage. I just didn't realize my daughter knew that already too.
Then for the last stop of the day we went to SofaMart where Jim could pick out his offical "Dad's Chair" recliner. The chair that you are only allowed to sit in if Dad is not home. And if Dad is home and you're sitting in his chair, he has every right to kick you out. The chair that even guests know to not sit in if "The Dad" is home. The chair where many future nights will be spent rocking a sick one to sleep, soothing a fussy baby, or cuddling up to while watching Christmas specials ( I can fit Christmas into any conversation). A chair that brings a comforting feeling to adolescents dealing with lifes trials. And a chair a housewife can sit and wait for her husband to return from his many outings and guys nights and not feel so lonely. Oh how much sentiment a chair can hold.
Of course when you're at a funiture store you must try out a couch or two while you're there.
Then its on to more serious matters. Good thing we had Bree there to help test out chairs with Daddy. However, once she discovered the massage chair it was all over.
It didn't take too long for Jim to decide which chair he wanted. Yes the comfort level of the chair is pretty awesome. And yes he liked the fact its leather. But seeings how we are avid lovers of the tv sitcom Friends, when Jim discovered the recliner he had just sat in was an honest to goodness Barcalounger, well price didn't matter after that. He was taking that chair home. Much to his disappointment though, the recliner was not in stock and we had to wait two weeks for it to be delivered. Once at home, assembled and put into position the barcalounger rarely sits empty.
