Am I the only one that found the dungeon crawl bit to be the part that I can relate too?
Yeah so what, I was a teenager!
On a different tangent. I have to set a time limit when I take my wife there. If I didn't the kids might starve to death or pass out from walking every isle 25 times to see if maybe that thing she wants is over there but she missed it the first 24 times down the isle.
On yet another tangent. The last two times I have gone to Ikea, I left injured. Let me explain. My sister in law was with us both times and when the two of us are together we bring out each others inner child. She, like me, doesn't like spending hours shopping. So we end up daring each other to do dumb stuff.
Like the 2nd to last time I was there. We were going through the kids area and there was this 12' x 12' bin of stuffed animals and my sis'n'law says "dare you to jump in!" Well naturally being that I was acting the part of a 13 year old, I jumped in. Whole hog! Took a couple running steps and launched my self in. Turns out that the 12' x 12' bin was actually a bunch of 4' bins pushed together. Various body parts colliding with various metal structures ensued. OUCH!!!
As for the last time I will only say it involved boredom due to massive storm outside and us waiting it out and a wheel chair and a security guard.
The good news is my wife no longer allows me in the store so I get to hang out next door at the sporting/hunting store.
