My oldest son and I work together amazingly in the kitchen. It is like a dance....when I am reaching for something, he (6 ' 8") goes over my head and just keeps moving to get to whatever he needs and he seems to always know what I need.
However, put my husband in the kitchen, and he stand in front of every drawer and cupboard that I need to reach. (Sometimes I think that he does it on purpose so that he doesn't have to help.)
