"Honey, while you're up there, can you bend down and clean out the gutters?"
"Honey, can you change that lightbulb in the hall? With your teeth?"

He would always have the best seat at a sporting event or concert...

My house is freakish honey do lists reversed. I'm 6'1" and my hubby is 5'3"
I just wish he'd listen when I tell him to clean the baseboards.
Steph - Great point! No one would block his view!
Tom - That would be weird to watch, wouldn't it?
Alekx - Very interesting! Do end up changing the lightbulbs?
Thanks for the comments, everyone!
