He started with a tall frame. He won't be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed without bending, or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping. And when god made a father's hands, they were large and sinewy.
Large hands are clumsy.
They can't manage diaper pins, small buttons, rubber bands on ponytails or even remove splinters caused by baseball bats. And then God molded long slim legs and broad shoulders. And the angel nearby had a heart attack. Boy, this is the end of the week, all right. A father needs strong shoulders to pull a sled, balance a boy on a bicycle, or hold a sleepy head on the way home from the circus.
