I’m all for being in the moment.
But sometimes, you just want to tunnel your butt someplace else. Not always even to a churro factory after hours, although … well, we all have aspirations. And I’ve asked several strangers, bloggers, friends, and a few strange blogger friends this question:
If you could build a tunnel from your house directly to anywhere in the world, where would it go? And why?
That’s a lot to get into six words, but it’s possible.
Ernest Hemingway inspired the idea. He said any story could be told in exactly six words. It’s mostly true. I got the question again from a great site you should check out: Q4KIDZ. Subscribe, and get all kinds of cool questions to toss around with your kids.
Let us know in comments where YOU’D want your tunnel to lead – and why!

Since there is a picture of me, hubby and our BFFs on display I wanted to reblog this to feature my friend Eli!!
Let’s all build a tunnel! ❤
Still digging! Thanks for including me, Eli!
Thanks for participating, Teri! I’ll grab a shovel and help, as soon as I finish this taco.
Perhaps we should have our tunnels to ice cream and tacos cross so we’d have access to both dinner and dessert!
I’m with you Deb – a little cross-tunnel collaboration for carbs and ‘cream?
Some great answers there–and the Ninja Librarian loves that a whole bunch of tunnels are headed to the books 🙂
She’s going to discover I have unpaid fines though, Rebecca. Can you cover me?
Fun! Thanks for doing this!

One story, six words… Thanks Eli!
So many of these I could have written myself! What a fun one. An abandoned grocery store, mountain getaway, Cinque Terre, hideout with friends, the library (love that so many people said this!), and Paris, because Paris ❤️
These are always such a delight to read!
Definitely like the ones you can identify with, Charlotte! Tunnels have many possibilties. Plus it gives you a good idea of the folk who hang out around here …
Glad you liked this one!
Thanks for including me!! I love the 6 words. 🍹🍹🍹
To a Galaxy far far away…
Oh I like that one.
I have not done a 6-er in a while but these are great!
Thanks Michelle – we need to do something about that! Join us for the next?
Love these answers!

To Boston where my heart is. ❤️
