It’s on the table
look, up there.
But I can’t reach it,
it’s not fair!
I could grab this leg
and shake and shake.
But when it falls
it might break.
Even up
on tippy-toes
how I’ll get it
goodness knows.
Suppose I climb
up on this chair?
I don’t like heights,
don’t think I dare.
I give up
I’ll let it be.
It’s not easy
being three.

I’m not three, but I have this problem sometimes too. It’s not easy being short, either. ❤

I remember in the 60’s we had shoes with massive bottoms on them which made you look much taller!

I totally empathise. I’m many times three, but face the same problem . A bit vertically challenged, if you know what I mean. 🙂

As an adult, I sometimes exploit this problem – the toddler I nannied last summer had a knack of getting things he wasn’t supposed to, so putting them up where he couldn’t reach was a trick I learned very quickly.

My 4 year old grandson would be up on that chair before you could say, “get down”. He has always been a climber.

Even I, as a rather vertically challenged adult, can easily relate to this dilemma. Of course, even adults sometimes don’t rationalize as well as this child did today.
