Rice and the inconvenience of...

...being small.
That's right, these two came together as on our weekly food shopping we couldn't get the rice we wanted from the shelf! I mean, me and my sister aren't super tall, but at 1,65m we aren't tiny.

Well, that seemed true, when we tried to get the rice pack from the top shelf. We were literally struggling to get that last pack of rice, by trying to climb on the shelf below - accidentally kicking some other rice brand from its place -, by reallyyy streching our arms and legs and whatever helped us to reach that damn box. Meanwhile, plenty of men, taller than us, were passing by, noticed our frustration and did nothing to help ease our suffering. And not that they were with their other halves, they simply didn't mean to help. Finally, in a quick, decisive and unbalanced jump your dear here managed to get the box which didn't fall to the floor and ruined our whole experience, by a nail. We managed to grab it from my shoulder, on its inummerable twists and turns while falling from its altar there. That was hard work and this while there were 49 other brands to choose from, on normal height shelves... But women, we like it complicated, don't we?
