My wife and I both have Fitbit watches, those ingenious electronic devices that measure the number of steps taken during a run, walk or just tinkering about the house or yard. In converting steps to miles with the fit bit calculator, one must enter the height of the user. A taller person takes longer strides and thus, requires fewer steps to cover a mile. I’m not sure if it’s from a sentiment of greater deservedness, or if she forgot the watch earlier in the day, but our youngest daughter has a tendency to shake the device on her arm, while seated, to deceptively advance the number of steps. The other option, at only 5 feet tall, and much shorter than her siblings, she feels rightfully entitled.
