Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m the lowest of floors; or a ball that’s hit low;
I’m a place for a picnic; or beans in your Joe;
To keep children at home; or keep planes down below;
And you break me when building, but gain me to grow.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Brian. See comments for answer.

    Ground!

  2. DeLisa Says:

    My first thought was “base” as in basement or base hit – but I agree with Brian’s answer.

  3. Bill Says:

    GROUND is correct! Way to go, Brian.

    DeLisa, that makes sense. I guess the basement would really be the lowest of floors.

  4. Benjamin Baxter Says:

    I got this one, for once. Woot.

    Friendly note: missed the “i” in “building.”

  5. Bill Says:

    Oops! Nice catch. It’s fixed now.

    Thanks.
