reason it's great to be short #6

we were at best buy the other night & caleb was running under those ropes that are put out in case it's busy so that people can stand in line & be organized. (does anyone know what i'm talking about?? you see them a lot at disneyland. anyway.) it was hilarious because caleb kept ducking like his head was about to touch the rope when in fact he was like 2 feet too short. well he yelled to me "mom, come on! duck!" so for fun...while ben wasn't looking... i limboed underneath it. just to see if i could. and let me just tell you, IT WAS A SUCCESS!! at struggle, yes. it was pretty low. but still a success with no touching the rope. the funny part is, i didn't tell ben i did it. he was off looking at mac something-or-others. so when he reads it he should get a good laugh. three cheers to 4 foot 11 1/2 inches!!


the line thingers looked exactly like this. except for different. but you get the idea, they were pretty much this low.

ps-a heartfelt thanks to those who responded to the last post. (the rest of you can still respond!!) it is seriously fun to meet new people. for your sake, hopefully the excitement will still continue now that carrot top's out like trout. for our sake, hopefully it won't.

Other advantages to being short(these are actually true)
1. small people are less likely to die in auto crashes.
2.Shorter people are also less likely to require surgery for herniated spinal disks.
3 You have a shorter fall to the ground.
4 They have faster reaction times(which explains Lynsey's ninja skills)
5 You get the kid prices at "Chuck-O-Rama"

I can totally see Ben laughing his head off while reading about your limbo escapade. How very funny!

I just want you to know that i did see you and posted it on my blog, "the times you pretend not to know your wife because she is limboing under a rope at Best Buy@blogger.com". The name is a little long but you have to admit that it is catchy.
