Grandmas Black Couch

Chris Taylor

I picked my grandmothers black couch with red polka dots because it reminds me of my childhood. The best use we kids had for it was that it was a net in our game we like to play called hand hockey. It was mini hockey but you must use your hands and you can’t pick the ball up. Anyways, This couch is where I would take my naps when I was little and it was pretty much the center of attention when all the kids were their, which was often god love her. We used it so many different ways from a wrestling ring to a fort. Either way I think my grandma was about to have a heart attack thinking we would get hurt. Hand hockey net was the best of all though. We would put shoes down for posts and have games, which I would always lose because I was the youngest. That couch has definitely played a huge role in my life believe it or not. My grandma doesn’t own the house but my aunt has the couch in her house and everytime I sit in it, I think back to the times when us kids didn’t have a worry in the world. We just played and played hard.
