What Would You Do...

...with a Tiny House?

Here are some of my ideas. Let's start with the fairly obvious:

1. a writing cabana (sort of like Susan Shreve's backyard office)
2. a long-term vacation home, for summers off at the coast
3. a pool house
4. the perfect place from which to dole out candy on Halloween-- decorate your Tiny House as a sickly sweet cottage, dress as a witch, set up one of those huge gourd ovens with a roaring fire in it in the background, and tell each kid he has to come in before you'll give him any Snickers
5. another Halloween possibility (or any time, really)-- dress up as Emily Dickinson and give the trick-or-treaters pieces of wrinkly yellowed paper with Dove promises rewritten on them in calligraphy
6. finally-- a headquarters for my own chapter of the Babysitter's Club
7. a sweatshop (making high fashion knock-offs for moi, of course)
8. a home of their own for Kirsten, Molly, Kit, Samantha, etc.
9. a hookah den (password necessary)
10. a psycho S&M love shack (see The General's Daughter)

What else can you all come up with?

1. Drop it at the new stop sign at the bend on University Drive to a) help people learn the new traffic pattern, for crying out loud, and b) stop further university expansion.

2. "Live like Thoreau" at a grassy spot in DuPont Circle.
