Retrieving cat toys from under the couch. |
So far I've used it for:
- extra balance when I have the clumsies
- leaning on when my hips hurt and don't want to hold me up
- pointing at things I want my son to get down from shelves in the supermarket
- threatening my son: "you may be bigger than me, but I'm carrying a big stick"
- my son used it to get a neighbour's toy helicopter from the roof
- as an explanation: when I have the stick no-one looks at me strangely when I ask if there's a lift to use instead of stairs
- to get down a bucket from the top shelf at a shop
- to push the cat out from under my feet when I have my hands full
- my son tells me it will be of great use if I'm ever caught in a street fight
- for a slightly better chance at a seat on public transport
- to intimidate small children (as in the mother of the kids I babysit said: "You behave for Mrs Iris or she's allowed to use her stick." I probably should explain that the kids did know it was a joke.)
