“I’d Like Your Opinion…”

The Husband said.
I immediately fell over laughing.
“Right, yah, as if, you do NOT want my opinion. What is it you want me to AGREE with you on?”

Come and see.

With the arrival of the new technology in our basement comes the new ‘floor-plan problem’.

“The sofa CANNOT go here, it doesn’t work, I tried it. So I went to (my new favourite store) EQ3 and bought this incredible chrome and glass shelving for the components that will go right here, the sofa will have to go against this other wall”.

I just looked at him. Waiting.

“You probably want to SEE that the sofa doesn’t go there.”

I just waited.

“Move it with me and see”.

We did.

Before I could step back and look he launched into the pitch again.
“See it just doesn’t look right from here”.

He was standing IN FRONT of the screen, across the room.

I sat on the couch and looked at him.
“Wow, the sweet spot. It’s perfect. Doesn’t it make sense to sit on the sofa FACING the screen from across the room like in a theatre? The fireplace is cozy and warm right BESIDE where I’m sitting. And I’m PERFECTLY centred to the screen. That new shelf, although nice, isn’t necessary because you need to mount the projector, right? I’d take it back”

Defeated, he said,
“I hate you”.
