Upside-down houses
All the houses in my street look the same. The roofs are straight and
point to the sky. The walls, windows and doors are straight. The fences
stand in straight lines. Even the garages and letterboxes have straight
lines! Wouldn’t it be better if some houses were different!
Imagine a house with the roof on the bottom. Imagine the floor on the
top. A curvy letterbox could sit on top of the floor. The front door could
be at the back. There could be lots of curvy lines and circles. These
houses would not look like other houses at all. They would be very
different. I think upside-down houses would be the best houses of all!
What if you lived in a two-storey house and it was upside down? You
would have to walk up the stairs to go down, and go down the stairs to
go up! When you wanted to slide down the railing, you would have to
pull yourself up! That wouldn’t be much fun at all!

What if you slept in bunk beds? You would have to climb down from
the top bunk to the bottom bunk to climb up on top! You would have
to climb up onto the top bunk to get down to the bottom bunk!
Perhaps upside-down houses would not be that much fun after all. But
I wonder how different houses would be if more colours or different
materials were used to make them. Yellow bamboo houses? Pink and
purple plastic houses?
