I was chatting with my little stepson while he was stopping with us this week. He was asking me about my job as I was sitting at my laptop all day. He is aware that I have an Internet Business, Work From Home and do lots of Online Jobs, but he needed to know precisely what I did. “Why are you always typing on your pc?”

He even used Skype messaging on his daddy’s laptop, to chat to me while I was busy, wanting to know and understand what I was a good deal of my time, I write articles for businesses. I explained that articles are like stories. He asked what these articles were about. I told him that they could be about anything, but had to deal with the importance of my client at the same time. In the way of young children, he told me he could easily write tales about anything, pointed to his beanbag and told me he could easily write an article about that!

Well, I do not like to be outdone by a young lad, so here goes, I will write a story about his beanbag.

Here I sit, on a little boy’s beanbag, while I Work From Home, writing articles for clients to aid in promoting their internet sites. Although this beanbag can be comfortable for a little while, I realize I will not be sitting here long, as I have a tendency to slip off and onto the floor, making it rather difficult to focus on my Internet Business of search engine optimization (also known as seo).

The little polystyrene balls move to support my back, which means that on condition that I do not need to move position I am ok, but the only way I can manage to get back up from the beanbag is to roll onto my knees and get up from there. I am certain there is a talent to getting off a beanbag in a dignified manner which leaves one following puberty.

When I am not using the beanbag for my Online Jobs, it joins the other two we own and they have many different uses, a number of which I am positive were never the intention of their original maker. In our home they are used as very successful draught excluders, pushed up against our lounge door. They are also used in rough play between father and son – being picked up by the handle and used as a tool for swinging at each other – in a gentle fashion. They are also used as landing spots as he and his chums launch themselves from the sofa, moving the beanbag further and further away and looking to land in the middle of the beanbag.

This weekend he found a further new use, steps towards the ceiling, in order to try to reach one of those sticky toys which had somehow managed to attach itself to our ceiling – one did not quite make him high enough to reach the toy, but two (I could hardly bear to watch) worked just brilliantly. No bones were broken in the harum-scarum activity, so I think it could be considered a successful venture.

This report goes to show that if we listen to our youngsters we can be challenged to look at things in a new light and maybe even gain from the experience.
