Being short means coming up with other ways to do things. This week I have had two different things that made me realize how short I am. I have to come up with other ways to do things. Most of the time I ask my husband or my oldest son. My husband is 6 foot and my son is 6ft 2in. If they are around I usually ask them for help. I also have a step stool that I use.

I was in the kitchen trying to get a spray for the pan I was about to cook in. The stool was missing so I looked at the can and decided to grab the closest thing to me which was a wooden spatula. I thought to myself ha, I gotcha!

Then I was going over to Gma’s. I realized I was driving my husband’s truck and thought to myself oh crud I don’t have the key to the house! It was in the car, which I normally drive! That means I need to try to get the key from the secret spot. Guess what, I am short and today I couldn’t reach it without using a stick.

Us short people sometimes have to come up with creative ways to reach things. So what ways have you come up with that are creative to reach things?
