Everyone knows that the number 2 Meyer offspring is a smidget. Technically, a smidget is anyone below the 5th percentile on the height chart, and, is likely to have her height eclipsed by her younger sister before the age of 8. That is Grace. But like all Meyers, she embraces her differences with pride.
However, when it comes to going on rides at Disneyworld, being a smidget just wont do. Grace was exactly 1 inch too short for both Space Mountain, and Mt. Everest. So, doing what every responsible parent would do, and capitalizing on the opportunity to teach your child right and wrong, we stopped by the nearest food stand, grabbed a handful of napkins, and rolled them up to stick in her shoes. As she walked up to the line to get measured, her heals weren’t even in her sneakers! She loved both rides!
Smidgets 2, Disney height police 0.

Brian – Not sure if you remember me – but I preceded you at good old Cascadilla Hall (and of course am married to the one and only Anu Nayampalli Lyons)…. Ever since Jen Davis or Julie Paige told me about your blog, I’ve been an avid reader and really enjoy the humor. Today gave me such a good laugh that I felt the need to finally come out of the shadows. Your kids are very cute – and growing up so quickly! I too have a blog for our family : http://joesfamily.wordpress.com In any case, from one family blogger to another – thanks for the great laughs!!
