Well it’s about time I answered this question!

Today’s episode of Father Knows Best? is a guilty one. This question from Mamalina was asked several weeks ago and I am just now getting around to answering her. Usually this would be no big deal, but Mamalina is a self proclaimed “n00b” and I left her twisting in the wind. She asked me this:

RE: http://www.improvisingfatherhood.com/post/517130521/chandler-has-lunch-with-dad-at-work-notice-the

Where did you buy the high chair? Is that what they’re even called? Sorry, I’m still a n00b parent.

Thanks for your question Mamalina, and I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get this answer to you.

Now if I was a news station I would prolong the answer and tease you up front with something like, “What is that amazing chair this man’s baby is sitting in? We’ll tell you after the weather.” Then you’d have to sit through a bunch of tragic news stories and painfully awkward interactions between the anchors.

And of course then there’d be like 3 commercial breaks. Each break would feel like it is taking an eternity. You’d be sitting there going “JUST GET TO THE STORY ABOUT WHERE HE GOT THE DAMNED CHAIR!!!” In the meantime you’d be stuck watching commercials about clinical depression that are so depressing you just want to kill yourself. Why are commercials about depression so depressing? That’s like making a really sexy commercial about abstinence. “Abstinence will get you laid!”

But I wouldn’t do that to you. No sir. You asked me a question and I am going to answer it right away. Oh, but let’s take a moment to look at the weather!

Back to you Nate. Okay, the chair you were asking about Mamalina, is called the MeToo and is made by Phil & Teds (not the excellent adventure guys. That’s Bill and Ted). We didn’t originally buy it for him to use during meals. We got it so Chandler could join us in our weekly poker games. He just loves gambling. And he’s got an amazing poker face. One time, I thought he had a flush, but it turned out he was just pooping.

The MeToo (I didn’t know it was called that until my wife sent me the link for it. We just call it the attachie chair) is great. It’s light, easy to carry in a small bag, and does a great job of safely attaching to most tables. As long as the table doesn’t have a big lip on it, the chair will work great. If the table has a mustache, you’ve got a different problem.

Hope that helps, Mamalina. Sorry it took so long. Happy chair shopping!
