Stairs, Thinking Outside the Box and My Kids

Isn't it sad how the space under stairs is so often wasted? Some people get creative and build cool little play or storage nooks under their stairs if they are able, but a lot of times this space is just empty.

I think we need to make stairs like doors ... you can lift them and store things under them and then close them. I understand there may be some structural problems with this concept, but I'm sure my kid Michael would be able to figure this out.

I thought I was pretty open-minded, but since having a think-outside-the-box kid like Michael, I think of things in new terms. I invent things in my mind that I think should be invented, even though I don't have the time or the money or the patent to put them into action.

Don't tell my kids, but they are homeschooling me more than I am homeschooling them.
