"THE HONEYMOON STAGE   Via Craigslist Hey! Hey! Check out my new futon. Cool, right? Let me let you in on a little secret. I got it...on the street! For free! Want to come over and watch terrible movies on it and then even sleep over because guess what, it turns into a bed?! THE &amp;quot;WHO NEEDS A SOFA?&amp;quot; STAGE    Via Craigslist Now that I&amp;#039;m an adult, I obviously care way more about decorating. So...tada! Yes, that&amp;#039;s right, that&amp;#039;s my old futon under all that decor I arranged. Yep. Throw pillows. I&amp;#039;m cool. Can you believe I didn&amp;#039;t even pay anything for this futon? THE &amp;quot;IT&amp;#039;S GOOD ENOUGH FOR GUESTS&amp;quot; STAGE   Via Craigslist So glad I have a sofa now, instead of that childish futon. What was I thinking?

What are we going to so about this sleepover? Oh wait, you know what we could bring down from the attic? THE &amp;quot;GETTING TOO COMFORTABLE&amp;quot; STAGE   Via jennaseverythingblog Young lady, if you do not pick those clothes off from the floor...wait, what do you mean they&amp;#039;re not on the floor. They&amp;#039;re on the futon? Oh, no, no, you have lost the right to have that futon in your room. THE &amp;quot;CAN&amp;#039;T QUITE GET RID OF IT&amp;quot; STAGE   Via Scott Miller on Flickr This free futon has been through enough, I think. Time to push it to the curb and let someone else enjoy it. But wait, how happy is the dog all curled up on it? THE FINAL STAGE   Via KayVee.INC on Flickr Cleaning spree! This thing has taken up quite enough space in our house (and lives.) Onto the curb you go...
