He'll miss these times
Gus will probably not remember this exact moment, but he will remember moments like these where he was small enough to fit into little spaces...and he'll miss it.
When I was little, my small size was to my advantage in some places, and quite a disadvantage in others.
I could hide inside clothing racks at the clothing stores.
I could fit inside cupboards during hide and seek.
I could go under the bed.
I could sit on the back of the couch.
I could sit in chairs and my feet would dangle.
My uncles could lift me up and carry me.
The biggest disadvantage I remember is not being able to reach the rotary phone on the wall. God help me if I had to actually dial a number.
Regardless, it seems good to remember how it felt to be small. I forget how fascinating certain things can be now that I'm not climbing under beds.
