During that same drive home in early November of 2012, after my wife belched so loudly my ears rang, we started talking about ways to improve our house. These improvements will never happen unless one of us wins the German lottery, or I finally launch my career as an internationally renowned foot model. (Seriously, for a dude, my feet are beautiful.) But home improvements are still fun to talk about, so we discussed the idea of adding a second story, building a privacy fence around our yard, or perhaps even adding a front porch.
ME: “I like front porches. You’re still on your own property, but you can see everything and just sit there and relax…”
THE WIFE: “And have a rocket chair!”

Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
Maybe she’ll act as a rocket. I mean, if she can let out a mean burp then surely she’s just as skilled in the fart department! ;) (I can have a pretty scary sense of humor – sorry! LOL)

Oh, I want to sit in a rocket chair. Your wife is really adventurous. I’m excited if I get to buy a new chair. That can make all the difference, right?

I guess so! She likes to get new furniture and make things pretty. I just want to read books and never have to go to Ikea again.

Reading books is nice in a comfy chair. I like IKEA, but I think after about six years their stuff breaks!

They’re pretty good, but insufficient reason to drag one’s American husband there! Now if they had beer…
