Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

So a few nights ago I slept on the couch all night.  "Jon," you say, "what did you do that was so wrong that your wife made you sleep on the couch?"  My, aren't we inquisitive today, hmm?  Well if you MUST know, I slept on the couch because I wanted to.  I love sleeping on the couch!  As my wife heads off to bed each night, she warns me NOT to fall asleep on the couch.  Oftentimes she will come into the living room in the wee hours of the morning and make me come to bed.

I have no idea why I enjoy this.  I enjoy napping on the couch as well.  There is just something comforting about it.  My daughter likes to sleep on the couch with me.  The word "couch" comes from the French word "coucher" which means "to sleep."  So I am actually using this piece of furniture for its intended purpose.

Perhaps I just like falling asleep watching TV and since the only TV I have had most of my married life has been in the same room as the couch, I associate that pleasure with the couch.  I did have a TV in the bedroom for a short time a few years ago, but seldom watched it in bed.  Maybe is a combination of the TV and the couch.  Who knows?

But when I am in trouble with the wife, she knows that she cannot punish me by making me sleep on the couch.  Ironically, her punishment is making me come to bed with her.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
