A few weeks ago I woke up during the night and my mind began to wander. I've learned to let this stream of thoughts take its course since many of my best ideas happen during these times (See my post about the Lego helicopter). This time it was about the children's storybook series, "Clifford: The Big Red Dog". It's about a dog who is loved so much by his owner (Emily Elizabeth) that he grows to over fifty feet tall. This made me wonder...if the things we loved the most grew the most how would things change. Here's a few things I came up with:
- My children would be absolutely huge. This could spark many comedic adventures and make them very handy when it comes time to service the evaporative cooler on the roof of the house (lifting me onto the roof, handing me tools, etc).
- My wife would become significantly grand in stature as well, this would not be so funny on many different levels. I see very few benefits to this.
- Some of my other friends, family members, and other associates would grow to various sizes as well, which would lead to issues with some being taller than others and some perhaps not growing at all...but I don't think there would be too many surprises.
- Other tangible devices that may grow would include the church building, my work building, my home computer (which I built with TLC), the 109th Air Control Squadron building at the National Guard base, and maybe the McDonald's by our house- the one with the playground and machine to rent DVDs.
- And of course my dog would grow, but I think this has taken place already.
So what you loved the most grew the most, what items/people would be the largest in your life?

Probably just my husband and children. I do love others, but these I love the most. It would definitely present some problems, if they were that much bigger than me. (Think about all the food I would have to make just to keep them well fed. I would always be in the kitchen :()
I didn't think of that. Emily Elizabeth never seems to have that problem with Clifford. I saw him gnawing on a huge bone in one episode, maybe she borrowed if from the dinosaur museum. I guess buffets would provide a time saving but costly solution, until they start posting signs that read, "No over-loved giants please".
I could think of a couple things that I would like to see grow....but you would probably ban me from this site if I stated what they were.
I know what you mean, paychecks, houses, etc. And you're banned anyway Chris. ;) ;)
crap
