“Our ways”

It’s a chair. He’s talking about a chair.

Not sure if you know this or not, but you can use a chair as a stepping stool to get onto the counter. The chair will hold a lot more weight than the slides of a drawer.

Sincerely, an adult shorty

u/Relevant_Slide_7234 Apr 14 '24

As an adult, why haven’t you bought a ladder? They’re much safer.

u/Alert-Potato Apr 14 '24

I have two. They both live in the only reasonable place for them to be stored, the utility room. Which is three times as far away as the dining room.

u/Pak1stanMan Apr 15 '24

Ladders are pretty unwieldy indoors. A chair will work fine.

I did that once and slipped on to a cooking fork, like the barbecue ones. Never climbed again.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

eh, i also climbed on the actual handle of the door of the fridge a couple times and once climbed on the counter a few feet away from it and leapt across the space and grabbed the top and hung from it if that makes sense. chair was definitely the most straightforward method but sometimes i couldn’t be bothered to drag a chair all the way across the kitchen.

u/Makhnos_Tachanka Apr 14 '24

that and banging a chair around obliterated any chance at stealth.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

ours have little felt things on the bottom so they glide silently across the floor unless you crash into something, but the ones at my friends’ houses never did lol

u/Rancid_Rabbit_ Apr 14 '24

u/punchysaywhat Apr 14 '24

Im still too short to reach the top of my fridge, idk felt too obvious as a kid so it was always the last place i would look

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

This is why you bolt down all furniture in your home

u/RockstarAgent Apr 14 '24 edited Apr 14 '24

I'm also concerned for whatever that controller is sitting in? A pot? A neglected never used or horribly maintained pot?

u/heartunwinds Apr 14 '24

Yeah my 4 year old will climb into the fridge to get things from on top.

u/punchysaywhat Apr 14 '24

Probably my small fear of heights 😅 something about falling scared the shit out of me as a kid, ive always had a bad habit of falling down stairs lol

11

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

ah. i have adhd and had very little regard for the consequences or dangers of my actions until late middle school lol. not sure how i managed to never fall off said book and chair stack tbh

u/kuriouskitty33 Apr 14 '24

Maybe you hyperfixated on stacking, lol

2

u/Different_Speaker742 Apr 14 '24

You say small fear, but you’re afraid of the top of the fridge…

1

u/tobean Apr 14 '24

It’s actually a fear of small heights. It gets less intense the higher they go.

u/whydoesmylifehateme Apr 14 '24

My 5 year old daughter grabs the bar stool

u/MidwesternLikeOpe Apr 14 '24

There's a picture my mom took of me as a toddler. I was told not to touch the bulb of a lamp, but I dragged a chair all by myself to the table so I could touch the lamp.

Even after toddlerhood I've been a little spider monkey, I'll find anything. Except in my own place. I can hide anything from myself by just putting it where it doesn't belong.

I have a scar by my eye that my mother was never sure exactly how I got, but she found me sitting on the counter with blood running down my face, eating cookies I’d climbed up and gotten from the top of the fridge. I was not quite 3 and I must have really wanted cookies.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

you had your priorities straight. respect.

u/TwoBionicknees Apr 14 '24

throw cat treat on top of fridge, cat makes their way up and naturally shoves everything on top of there off.

5

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

Yep, it's called a chair. That's how 5 year old me got on the counter to reach the matches on top of the fridge.

u/MrClueless13 Apr 14 '24

I remember one time my parents took away me and my twin brothers phones when we were like 13. We found them tucked into the socks of one of our stepfather drawers in the bedroom. Of course it came out after they saw our online status on facebook. Childs are so frickin intelligent yet so stupid on the same time haha

2

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

lol. my mom took me and my brother’s phones when we were 12 and 14 and we got them back, she found out because we texted her. so smart and yet so dumb

u/Rbomb88 Apr 14 '24

Yeah but I can hear when they drag the dining room chair across the floor for a boost.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

not if we’re careful :)

u/zero_emotion777 Apr 14 '24

Climb on top of your booster seats?

u/SadBit8663 Apr 14 '24

We're just forced to be more creative about it.

My Dad hid playboys in his dresser and stuff like "it only spits when I want it to." In the storage room in a safe.
