The "Green Ugly"

My father in law does not live with my mother in law any more but left an ugly reminder of himself with her that sits in her living room. My kids refer to it as the Green Ugly as it has to be the most hideous looking recliner that I have ever seen. It seems to have faded to the same green that you would find in my grandmothers kitchen like the stove or refrigerator. After years of battling my father in law has finally decided to allow my mother to re-cover the chair and move it to another room in the house. I had suggested a room in the barn and even though my mother in law had to think about it for a few days she decided on something a little less drastic, the attic.
