Hammock

My wife bought a hammock, supposedly as a gift for me, but since she’s had a dream of owning a hammock for the past fifteen years, I’m guessing it was really for her. We put it together in the den, and I was the only one brave enough to try it out. I think my workmanship was being questioned, like I can’t read and follow some simple instructions...pfft!

It’s quite a large hammock, so I took one side and wrapped it all the way around me, a la the leaf bed in the movie Avatar. Troy took a very different approach to it. He said I was a caterpillar in a cocoon, turning into a butterfly. Which of course made him want to try it too!

So, in he came into the “cocoon” with me, and wrapped the fabric around both of us. I thought he’d be afraid of the tight space or low light, but nope; totally fearless. It was cool to swing with him in our cocoon. When my wife finally got up the nerve to try it out, Troy got in too to show her how it worked, being the resident expert and all.
