My Great Discovery
Jun 14
All right folks, this is going to sound stupid. But…
I always wondered why humans have such big legs in comparison to other animals with much bigger bodies. Even horses have much skinnier, littler legs than us. We are true, thunderthighs and cavalcade thighs.
Yesterday, it came to me in a flash.I was standing in the bathroom looking at my feet. They were these TWO tiny little appendages that balanced and supported this funny body of mine.
It’s like balancing a stick figure on two grains of rice for feet.
BAM!
WE NEED OUR BIG LEGS TO CONSTANTLY BALANCE OUR BODIES THAT SIT ON OUR TWO GRAIN OF RICE FOR FEET.
It takes ALL that musculature to keep us upright without swaying and tilting and flopping over.
HAD we had BIG lovely, waddling duck feet, THEN we could have had chopsticks for legs.
Capiche???
I feel like a brilliant genius.

What is the LESSON of all this?
It’s a tale of Life… and Limb.
It’s amazing how two little grains of rice feet can support and balance a whole big body. And by the way - take a look at a 1 year old. Talk about little bitty feet and a big round body.
Folks, there’s method to the madness.
LESSON: Adapt. IF you’ve been given two tiny grains of rice for feet, compensate. Grow some BIG, HONKIN’, Legs.
