Lazy boy on a La-Z-Boy

OK, one last post on my lazy son. (But really, it's not my fault...he brings this on himself!)

Mark's latest obsession is with La-Z-Boy recliners. He thinks they are seriously the best invention in the world, and can't understand why I don't have one in our living room. (I don't understand why he thinks he'd ever get to sit in it if we only had ONE.) I haven't even told him about the fancy recliners, which come complete with refrigerated compartments to keep your drinks cold!

Mark he doesn't want just any old recliner, he wants a fancy one. Shanda, my brother's girlfriend, has one that gives neck and back massages. Any time we go to Shanda's, Mark darts directly to that chair, and stays there pretty much the whole time.

My aunt has one, too. You can inflate or deflate the seat and back to give you the perfect lumbar and neck support. It's bigger than Shanda's chair, and it also vibrates. Mark is equally happy in that chair--he even spent the night in it the other day.


"I'm serious, Mom," he told me Sunday, clicking the remote control for my aunt's chair. "I really really REALLY want one. I'm going to save my money and get one."

"Where would you put it?" I asked, curious.

"In my room," Mark answered, dreamily.

"No way," I said. "If you put that chair in your room, you'd never leave your room. I'd never see you again."

"You would, too," he said. "Because the TV's in the living room. Unless..."

I cut him off. "No TVs in your room," I said. Then I reminded him that his cat Frankie would scratch his chair up, or urinate on it (Frankie is one messed-up bad cat.)

"I'll put catnip all around it," Mark answered. "No, better! I'll glue scratching posts all around the bottom, so he can scratch it without ruining it. But I'll have to put it in the living room, then, so he has more room to scratch."

I was silent for a moment, envisioning my ecstatic, near-comatose son relaxing in his massaging recliner. His bad cat was beneath him, going to town on the scratching posts glued to Mark's recliner. It was quite an image.

"No," I said finally. "We actually have guests who visit, and there's no way I could ever explain that chair." I shook my head, trying to rid the image from it, but I couldn't. 

"It's my money," Mark reminded me. "I can buy what I want with it..." And he turned to stomp away, visions of La-Z-Boys filling his head.

Somewhere out there, a trailer park is missing its leader.
