From too home work I go, sometimes big,
sometimes smal.
I dont care about rain or snow I always stay outside the door.
What am I?

Is an Umbrella sometimes big, sometimes small? And does it always stays outside the door?

A car?

The solar system? It could be anything

Dreamer128 01-13-2002 07:26 AM

Maybe the weather?

J'aran 01-13-2002 07:27 AM

A mailman?
What was that motto again? "Through rain or snow or sleet, blah blah, etc." or something, right?
And they stay outside the door.

An umbrella can be, big - when its up, small - when its down, you use it when its raining or snowing and it's considered bad luck if you open it up inside - dunno, but thats all I could think of [img]smile.gif[/img]

It could be a pair of wellington boots. Beacause if you don't put inner soles in them you can find them too big. And yet when you put them in the boots become too small (although they become delightfully lemon scented)and of course wellington boots suit all weather, being water & snow proof, and boots are always left outside the door in the lobby. Or maybe its a self propelling pencil which becomes smaller as the lead runs out but bigger when you put more in and you can leave it outside if you want to. It could be a pogo stick or one of those micro folding pocket scooters.

Sorry mate, it has to be a one word answer. So Wellington boots is not an option. And what kind of cruell would bastard would force his dog to stay outside the house?

Its not sometimes big and sometimes small. And who says that it accompanies you to work? I know plenty of people who go to work on their bike.

Grojlach 01-13-2002 11:36 AM

a (traffic) queue?
