#54 Horseplay is an Excluded Peril



Robert shares an experience with movers in which he is certain they stole his softball bat. Rather than move again, he and Da’Sha are redecorating his place now that she is living with him. Should they buy the “protection” for their new living room furniture? A past experience with a broken ottoman suggests maybe not, but regardless, there will be no more horseplay allowed in the living room and definitely no Flamin’ Hot Cheetos allowed on the sofa.
