Tree house (also spelled treehouse) refers to a hand-built wooden platform-based structure resembling a shed or house, that is built among the branches or around the trunk of one or more mature trees, and is some distance off the ground. They are invariably approached via a ladder, although this may not be fixed in place (i.e.: the ladder being let down to allow someone to climb up). Tree houses are best built in mature hardwood trees with a spreading crown of strong branches.
They are sometimes built as "forts" or "play houses" for children. Sometimes children will build their own ramshackle temporary treehouses on marginal or scrub urban land, which then serve an important role in the games of children's street culture. Professionally-built children's tree houses can also be found as part of commercial children's play parks.
In some parts of the tropics, ordinary houses for living are built in trees or elevated on stilts to the same level as the trees, to keep the living quarters above hazards at ground level. They can also be used for storing food out of reach of scavenging predators.

It's odd. These people are all in line for the same show I am, but all I see is cliques and secret treehouses where I'll never be allowed.
