The Favorite Chair

How do men develop a favorite chair? Not sure what I'm talking about? Think back to when you were a kid and gramps had his chair that no one was alllowed to sit in. Yeah... now you know what I'm talking about. Why is the chair always the crappiest piece of furniture in the house? Beer stains, crumbs in the cushion, always a towel where you put your head... edges torn, chewing gum underneath the arm... some even dress it up it bit with a grandma-style afghan blanket. GROSS.

Why on earth did we want to sit in this chair as kids? A museum of germs and maggot dwellings. I think this phenomenon develops when we're babies... the Johnny Jumper, the High Chair... "Go sit in YOUR chair at the dinner table" mom used to say... We bought Reid his own chair early on. It has magic powers though... It has the magic vibration mode, the magic bouncy mode and the all-important... Soothe baby to sleep mode. It also has the other characteristics of a favorite chair... formula stains, a towel nearby and crumbs... I accidentally put the crumbs there though.ok... I'm off to sit in my favorite office chair.
