Is it normal for a 10 year old Boy

to be unable to perch himself on a couch without launching himself 3 feet into the air and landing on it? :burning:

Watch out, dude...I was a rather portly youth and would "plop" (as my parent's so lovingly referred to it as) on the couch. One day my "plopping" ended with the bottom collapsing on the couch. I had to use paint cans to prop it back up before my parents found out...didn't work so well

:lol: I feel bad that Boy will never know the joy of a rousing game of "Touch the dead cow" on a 100 degree day. :frown:

:killingme

I did spot a dead deer at the 235/Wildewood Blvd intersection this morning... Improvise! :lmao:

Mine did that until he realized the corner of the coffee table sucks. He went tumbling off the couch and "boom" drove his noggin into the corner. Nice litte 1' gash. Off to the ER. No stitches thankfully.

So he learned his lesson. And it made me pretty anal about the romping on the furniture thing now. Either keep your butt in the chair and your feet on the floor or get off the furniture.

I find it unbelieveable that a 1 foot gash on your boys noggin did not require stiches. :faint:

This is the reason my nice leather sectional won't hook together anymore. :mad:

In My Opinion
just put some thumbtacks under a newspaper page on the seat.
the other thing a 10 year old boy is unable to do is move something like a newspaper before launching onto the perch.

this takes care of two problems for the price of one tetanus shot.

he starts to think about cleaning things up, and, over the next week he learns to seat himself in a more gentle fashion.
