What Would You Take If Your House Was Burning Down?

If you had time to think about it (and take an artsy fartsy photo), what would you take if your house was burning? It’s an interesting way of evaluating someone’s personality with one simple question. posted on May 16, 2011 at 11:45am EDT

  • The Burning House is a Tumblr that asks this question. Users submit a list of their possessions along with a picture taken in the same vein of “things organized neatly.”

      Pretty obvious none of these people have kids. Gotta save Green Dog (stuffed animal) and the blankets Maw-Maw knitted for them, family photos and their jackets/shoes. My purse since it has the insurance card and debit card and cell phone in it. Find the cats? Maybe my laptop if I have time.
