Life is like a box of chocolates teeter totter... at first you go up, then you go down. A variation on this would be walking on a teeter totter board starting on one side, going up, then when you cross over the mid-point-hinge, whatever that's called, you immediately tip the board to a downward position and starting walking down. Life is like that and I never thought about it that before. Now I do. I think I just crossed over that hinger.



What do you call the triangule support bars that hold up a teeter totter at the midpoint?




The triangular support bars that hold up a teeter-totter (or seesaw) at the midpoint are called **sawhorses**
