Conquer that fear of public speaking early in life!! Fear of public speaking, also known as glossophobia, is one of the most widespread phobias among humans. I speculate that whomever built this treefort for his/her kid(s) is a frequent public speaker (perhaps even a fearful one) and wants his offspring to gain comfort early in life - a platform from which to practice speaking to an audience gathered below.
Or a training post for hot oil pouring.
ReplyDeleteNow there's an idea I didn't consider. You must be reading too much medieval history.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I'm enjoying your wit and your photographs. Maybe if I'd had a tree platform like the one featured on your blog I'd have been able to cure my fear of public speaking. I'm a fellow baby boomer and I think we might have some things in common, although I've never guided an airplane safely down. I hope you'll visit me sometime at Chubby Chatterbox where I write about Art, Humor and Nostalgia. If you do, I hope you'll take a moment to press the Join button and I'll return the favor. Take care, and I look forward to hearing from you sometime.
