World's tiniest hands

Surprisingly, considering every other body part is hugely oversized (thighs, calves, hips, eyes, the lot!), my hands are absolutely teeny tiny! As a kid, I thought I just had really great skills in hand contortion which allowed me to slip my baby christening bracelet on and off. Turns out, I just had the world's smallest hands. It was only when someone commented on them at uni that I realised. Bizarrely, compliments on my hands have become somewhat of a frequent occurence. They're so small that I've taught 7 year olds with larger hands. My size H engagement ring is too small for most of the children's fingers (yes, we've tried!). There are lots of downsides: I've had to accept that I will never be able to play the guitar, I can't pour 2 litre bottles without using both hands, and I have to choose mobile phones based on their size, rather than their specifications. Despite this, there are loads of reasons why I absolutely love them!

Pringle ergonomics

You know when your tube of Pringles runs down, so you have to stick your hand in the tube and then it gets stuck, and scrapes the side, and you get salt in all the little scratches? Yeah, that. I don't! My hands can reach right down to the bottom of the tube without touching the sides.

Awesome gloves!

Those gloves in the form of a crocodile that you can open up to make a mouth and play at biting people's faces off, the ones that only come in children's sizes? You know the ones I mean. I can wear them! And they're a whole lot cheaper than adult gloves too! 

Festival wristband sneakiness

I'm the person you want to befriend if you haven't got a festival ticket. No matter how tightly they try and secure the wristband, I can always wriggle it off. It also means I can slip it off without cutting into it, which makes me happy (and I can put it back on for the festival 10 years later and pretend it's never come off...)

My small hands make me happy. I like them a lot!
