[ longer arms please! ]

sooooooo... when i drive along with my boys, 4 & 2, they are always dropping things & then i hear the inevitably... mom can you 'just' get that please... i like how they add the 'just'.


i'd say about 65% of the time i can grab the whatever it is, but the other 35% of the time my arms are just not quite long enough. the worst is when it's a drink! & it is dribbling out of the straw or cup on the car floor & you just can't quite get it! or when one of them sneezes & without even looking you know that there are snot tusks!

i'm wondering why women's arms haven't evolved & got 'just' that little bit longer! stretchy would be good, seriously it would be really handy! wiping noses & reaching to put binkies (dummies) in.  i'm not talking inspector gadget or anything ~ although i can't count how many times it would have been useful to be able to attach another pair of arms!
