Dad and Sig have had the same couch since my brothers were kids. They finally decided to get rid of it recently. 

The couch was pretty heavy and awkward but Dad managed to get it to the curb anyway. When Dad got it there he started chatting with his neighbor, Farley.

Dad said “When you live with furniture for so long, you don’t notice how ratty it starts to look. When I see this couch outside , I feel a bit embarrassed.”

“I almost left it on your curb instead.”
