Why Sit?

Now that I’m older, I do the thing my dad always did – come into the room where the TV is on and then stand and watch a bit.
We always tried to get dad to sit down. It’s a lot more comfortable to sit and watch TV, why stand?
But now that I’m older, I understand it. I just want to see the score or watch a play or two. Why not sit down? Because over age 40, sitting down (and moreso getting back up) takes more effort than standing. It’s just easier to stay standing than to sit down for a couple minutes.
Also, here’s your reminder that you know you’re at this point when you make vocal noises when you sit down and when you get up.
You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
Deuteronomy 6:7
