Four little monkeys jumping on the couch

For anyone who has ever visited our home, sat down on the couch and sunk a little further than expected. Or anyone who's ever beaten Jason to his recliner and gotten a spring in the butt while taking a seat. Don't expect things to change anytime soon.

I'd love new living room furniture, since the existing has definitely served its purpose. However, in addition to the daily chapstick "lipstick" spots, crayon markings or apple juice spills, the furniture is also subject to the occasional jump, complete disassembly or recline by more than one lounger.



Before replacing the old, I'm holding out for the majority of our family to understand you sit on your behind while on the couch or that the arm that reclines the chair isn't for balancing acts. Maybe in another ten years or so?
