In the film they're so tiny an ant looks huge.

It would save money on food and flights and we could get a smaller car.

@booksAreMyOnlyFriends haha x good point x i was thinking more like they could be shrunk down to about 6 inches tall x something like that x

Ds1 is nearly 13 admittedly but I worr y about him out and about 😂ds1 is nine and has autism and is a little escape artist so it would be quite handy tbh.

Well yes that might be a problem plus I have a beagle she might eat them😲

formerbabe · 19/08/2019 19:37

Yes definitely. I'd shrink them down and make them a little comfy bed in a matchbox and pop them in my handbag and go out for the evening without needing to organise a babysitter.

x2boys · 19/08/2019 19:39

What if you dropped them accidentally whilst out @formerbabe??

Summerunderway · 19/08/2019 19:40

Pocket?. Drawer at home imo...

formerbabe · 19/08/2019 19:41

@x2boys

Yes and I'd have to be super careful not to lose my handbag or leave it in a taxi! Grin

x2boys · 19/08/2019 19:42

Not suggesting your careless former of course but I have lost keys,cashcards etc whilst out ....

tammylw81 · 19/08/2019 19:45

lol how old are peoples kids ? x my daughter is 16 i do like the idea of shrinking her down and popping her in a box saying "no your not going out tonight lol x"

Yes it would be much easier to say no.if they are only a couple of inches tall.

tammylw81 · 19/08/2019 19:49

@x2boys lol yeah make them stay in x force them to clean your giant shoes x rub your feet lol x

You could also get a nice two seater sports car as no need for back seats...just pop them in the glove box!

x2boys · 19/08/2019 19:55

Or even a push bike if you are that way inclined and pop.them in the saddle bag so much healthier and environmentally friendly Grin

Strangely enough my 5 year old was asking the other day if there was any way I could possibly shrink them. We had been watching night at the museum. I am good at shrinking clothes but don't think I can manage actual kids. He was very disappointed.

Summerunderway · 19/08/2019 20:19

Clothes would be so cheap!! And shoes!
