The Moby Warrior: Posture of Silence
Today the Moby Warrior takes on sitting down with a baby who fell asleep despite teething.
This is another downfall of the Moby, sitting down is not easy. So if your two favorite things are sitting and putting things in the oven, then you might not need one. In fact, I wouldn't recommend children either.
It goes something like this. Pull out the chair that has been tempting you. Bend your legs like you are an overworked person playing a game of limbo against your will, and you haven't had time to exercise for the past X months (we'll pretend like that shouldn't say years). Given the topic of this blog and that you are reading this, you may well just need to bend your legs the best you can. But only bend at the knee, your thigh and torso have to stay aligned (hence the limbo part). Now put your hands on the back of the chair, and do something resembling a crab-walk until your center of mass is somewhere over the seat. Crab-walk forward, and lower yourself onto that cushion. Your posture is perhaps not what it used to be, but neither are your standards for most other things involving civil society. Well done. I hope you brought that cup of coffee with you for some nice over the shoulder drinking. Don't worry about burning the little one; by the time you get to this point your coffee is cold anyway, and you're too lazy to go fill it back up. Enjoy!
