I Would Pad The Bench And Install A Foot Rest!

I love to walk to my bench with my daughter. The conversation on the way to the bench and while sitting on my bench is always stimulating. She has a small library on personality types and has figured out her type and the personalities of her father, mother and sister. This was the topic of discussion as we walked to my park bench. Based on the Myers-Briggs test each of us has a series of letters that determine our dominate type and secondary types. I read the description of my personality and found it to be quite actuate, especially the positive stuff (denial is one of my traits).

Once at the bench and after much discussion, I posed a question: Based on your study, what would each of our family members do to this bench? Here is what she concluded:

Mother: She would clean the bench with an anti-bacterial soap.
Father: He would pad the bench, slant the back (for slouching) and install a foot rest.
Older Sister: She would redecorate the bench, repainting with a faux finish.

And what would she do? Study the bench and determine it's uniqueness compared to other benches!

What would you do to the bench?
