All my son asked for for his 16th birthday was an air hockey table. One of his best friends had an air hockey table at his house, so my husband and I spent a lot of our free time driving our son back and forth. In the car, he’d talk the whole way home about how amazing this air hockey table was and how he wanted one of his own. When his birthday rolled around, we couldn’t get him anything else or it would’ve been a huge disappointment. The air hockey table went up in his room, and it’s been there ever since. Now, he’s away at college, but that air hockey table is still sitting in the same spot. During the summer months, the air hockey table is our cats favorite spot to be. My husband and I keep the air conditioning running all summer, but heat rises. Even though it’s 71 degrees downstairs, it’s usually 78 degrees upstairs. You’d think our cat would just stay downstairs in the cool air, but he doesn’t. He misses our son when he’s away at university, so he likes to nap in his room. The air hockey table is just an added bonus. When I first noticed our cat sitting on the air hockey table, I knew it was because it was a cool, flat surface. One day, I decided to turn on the table to see what he’d do, and he just flopped over on his side and layed there for hours! Our cat became obsessed with the cool air moving around the table. I never expected that air hockey table to get so much use all these years later!
