Top ten reasons to have a front porch couch

10. It'll annoy at least one of your neighbors enough for them to send you anonymous letters about pride and sugar daddies and laziness.

9. Said letter will then provide hours of entertainment.

8. It's a great place to sit and enjoy the weather on summer mornings. Summer evenings too, for that matter.

7. You can sit and chat with the JDubs in comfort and you don't even have to invite them in.

6. Your kids can eat on it and jump on it and put their shoes on it...and it's okay.

5. It makes you unique.

4. It's a conversation starter.

3. And if it doesn't prompt conversation with you, at least you know you provided fuel for gossip. :)

2. It's more comfortable than the steps. Or most porch furniture for that matter.

1. It completely and effectively removes any misconception that you live your life to "keep up with the Joneses"...plus it makes you giggle every time you see it.

Don't forget #11: "It lets your husband relive his frat-boy days. Or know what it feels like if he never had frat-boy days."

LOL, it's still there huh? You might need it for a place for people to sit for the BBQ after Nathan's baptism...
Plus Clara is absolutely adorable on it.
