1 (defence mode) - in a La-Z-Boy rocker/recliner with the footrest up and tilted back, with my wife's old Boppy (breastfeeding pillow) used as a wall to discourage kids and dogs from spontaniously leaping into my lap. Said jumping usually results in knees/elbows/paws being forced into my gut hard enough to cause coffee spewing all over: a)me, b)my reader, and c)the jumper.
2 (surrender mode) - in a king-sized bed, propped up by pillows, more pillows under my knees, reader on stomach. One child nestled on the right side, other on the left, dog on my feet (having been booted out the prime spots by the kids).
Mode 1 is more comfy than mode 2 where there is no coffee

, feet go to sleep

, and I never get to read what I want to read
Somehow, I just seem to enjoy mode 2 more
