My Petition for Slides to the Basement…
February 23, 2012Think of this as a political campaign.
(I promise not to use those words again. Ever. This entire year.)
Except instead of taxes or education, I build my entire campaign platform on one thing:
(drumroll please)
Slides to the Basement.
Seriously, can you think of anything more fun?
I feel this one is particularly elegant.
Not only do you have a great way to send kiddos down the hatch, you can also send all their toys that have accumulated upstairs down with them. “Watch out Below!”
I have tried and tried to figure out a way to put one in my house, but alas, I’ve decided it will have to wait until a future home.
What do you think? Would this increase housing values? Would it sell the house?
Or am I just crazy??
And then at the Ballpark

My daughter's *brilliant* idea! Can your child use this?
