curiousIf furniture could talk, what would yours be saying?
Our living room furniture is very nurturing. Sometimes more nurturing than we want. I'm not sure if the couch is more like a hypnotist or a Polish mother, but it's called "The Pagan-Eating Couch" because it tends to make people fall asleep. Even if they have insomnia, a nervous breakdown, or hair-trigger reflexes.
I'm pretty sure the bookcases would say, "More input, please."
The Borg Cube entertainment center: "1100101011."
The kitchen table is a battered old farm table of real wood, with a couple of extra leaves that can be inserted. It would probably say, "Get your crap off my back." It tends to get buried under mail and stuff.
The upstairs bed? Yeah, that one would just complain. It's a wreck of a bed.

Snerk. I just watched that episode of Futurama where Bender asks the Robot Mafia goon if they "run numbers" and the guy responds, "Mostly ones and zeroes."
My bed would, quite possibly, say, "Jesus Christ, lady! Have you considered trying to get some sleep in here as well?" Actually... actually, suddenly, I'm really glad it can't talk.
My desk used to belong to my mother, so I imagine most of the time it would be very encouraging, but I'd also get the occasional, "Don't forget to work on your syllabi," or "It's been an hour; why don't you get up and stretch?" or "Can you see? Is there enough light behind you?"

I think ours might say the same thing. LOL
