The happiest place on Earth

Many people will tell you that the happiest place in the world is somewhere like Disney World, Paris, their Grandma's kitchen or with their beloved. While I do enjoy all these things (expect Paris because I am pretty sure that is in France), I am here to tell you that the happiest place on Earth is an Ikea store.

At an Ikea store you feel the empowerment to buy things that you never even knew you needed. How can you not buy this really cute rug when it is only $6 or that jar for your kitchen that is on sale for $2.99? In addition, for some reason Ikea has this air of coolness in the store. As you walk around you can almost feel your Euro Sheik Coolness factor rising.

Let's face it, that trip to Disney World is expensive and sooner or later Grandma is going to tell you to get the heck out of her kitchen because you are in her way. At Ikea, however, you can buy a brand new kitchen for the less than the price of a trip to Disney World and you can buy it with your beloved. And if you still have longings for Paris...don't worry, you can buy some fancy plates that will make people think you must have been there.
