I'll admit to three* out of five!

Mine (Husband) is also my accountant, business partner, car mechanic, occasional cake maker and best friend!

Yep.  1, 3, 4 & 5 practically every day!  We joke that the unstated vows in our wedding was for me to get things off the top shelf.  I am 14” taller than my wife!

Eric for all of us short girls out here, thank you for your service, your filling a void!😁
I new a guy who was 16 inches taller than myself, and he was the short one in his family.
I have also had to climb shelves in the store to reach a product, that's frowned upon apparently!😉

Hi Eric,

Yes, I am more than a foot taller than my wife.   It is rare that I make a trip to the grocery store than someone doesn’t ask me to reach something on the top shelf.

I just took the time to do the math. Yep, there is a 14 inch difference.

Haha. In my house, most of those are my jobs, actually. I'm short, so I do have some places I get my husband to reach for me, though. We're fairly possessive of our clothing, so no swapping there. Although, my husband did model some of my underwear for me a couple weeks ago to make me laugh.

YES! HAHAHAHA. Thanks for your help. I "borrow" people's height all the time at the store. HA, I'm only 5'2" and they frown on me climbing the shelves. But luckily some nice tall person is always able to lend a hand ;-)

It is interesting that I never considered my wife to be THAT much shorter than me ….  Until I saw a photo of us standing together.
