Go Go Gadget Arms!

I seriously think that my son has Go Go Gadget arms I mean I can put things on the back of the kitchen counter and he can still reach them!! WTF is up with that? I mean nothing is safe from him now. A few moments ago my darling son walked into my living room waving a knife around! That knife was all the way at the back of the counter top from cutting him some cheese yesterday - how the heck did he reach it?!?!? I know he didn't use a stool cause there isn't one in the kitchen. He can't even see over the counter yet - how does he manage to find and get these things? Just baffles me. Ok thats all.
