as we got to the ikea parking lot the initial excitement had worn down and now i was left with the feeling in your stomach when you remember the thing you were excited for in the first place.

we entered the spinney dors and 5 seconds later we were standing in the giant store, filled to the brim with furniture.

the store was busy but that wasn't a surprise since it was a saturday morning

aka builder dad prime time

what is builder dad prime time you ask?

well it's the time when all of the dads who like to build stuff wake up there families at the butt crack of dawn and drag them to ikea and or some other furniture/construction store.

we grabbed two carts since for the first time in ikea we actually needed furniture.

*time skip brought to you by the authors cat*

we've been walking through the jungle that is ikea for about 2 hours.

i was walking around in one of the prebuilt bedrooms, just looking around and when I reunited with my family i saw my mom talking to someone

as i came closer i recognized the woman as Mrs. Simons, our neighbor

i came even closer standing near my mom with my half full cart just smiling and pretending like i know what's going on.

suddenly we all started walking not to long after Tommy and his dad joined us

"hey, what are they talking about?"

Tommy asked slowing down his step so that he was following everyone else just like me

"honestly i have no clue, just smile and occasionally nod" I said making Tommy laugh

we continued walking around the store

*itty-bitty time skip*

"Hey mom can we get this?" Oliver asked sitting on one of the couches

"We have a couch" I said instead of mom

"sofa" Tommy said

I turned my head to face him "what?"

"it's not couch it's sofa, you're in england now" Tommy said looking at me also leaning on the cart he was rolling

"i'll say what ever i want to say thank you very much" i said clearly fake offended

"hey- hey- whatever you say" he said with his hands in the air jokingly

"thank you" I said returning the joke

"just make sure what you're saying is sofa and not cOUch" He said exaggerating the 'ou'

I shot my head back to look at him my mouth a bit opened in shock
