now my parents are in the process of redoing his room. So far, my suggestions have been a fireplace, a bear rug, a trampoline, and bunk beds with a slide. All have been vetoed.
Looking back at those ideas, I think my tastes are caught in between ‘successful rich old man’ and ‘rambunctious 7 year old boy’; which I think is a unique and charming combination every parent should appreciate and nurture in their adult daughter. Once again, my creative spirit is squashed.
Actually, not all my ideas were vetoed. My Dad did agree with me that a bean bag chair in that room would be awesome. Mom (predictably) said no.
“It’s bad for your back.”
So I patiently explained to her that a bean bag chair isn’t actually for sitting. It’s for atmosphere.
