My child Ben is always jumping on the chairs, doing somersaults, or playing leapfrog back & forth between the dining room chairs.
- I told him that 1 of these afternoons; the chair was going to bite him, then he would be a hurt puppy.
I meant that Ben would fall off a chair, or it would tip over, or the chair could even break. I never thought Ben would take my statement about the chair biting him, literally, then last week, Ben took a running shot at the chair, in addition to landing so hard he nearly went through the seat Springs. I heard a yelp, in addition to Ben stood up quickly; He told me the chair bit him. Ben showed me the pinprick on his leg, in addition to I looked all over the chair. The only thing I found was the way he landed on the chair. He had loosened 1 of the upholstery tacks in addition to it pricked him in the leg. Ben did not suppose if he wanted to cry or not, in addition to I told him not to. I’d already warned Ben about the way he used my furniture for jungle gyms. Later That night, I called the upholstery shop in our area. I told them how the tacks were all coming out of the upholstery in addition to my furniture in addition to why I thought it was happening. I took a chair that had the most upholstery tacks missing, to the local upholstery shop. He used longer upholstery tacks, which replaced all the smaller upholstery tacks in the chair. He told me the larger upholstery tacks would help, however I was going to have to stop Ben from jumping on the furniture the way he was, because they would not hold up under such abuse
