Don't be.  She means she can reach the headboard when she's lying down in bed.

Handstands!!!!! Well done Tabby.. 

 I can stand on one leg.. Put my legs in my jeans without leaning up against anything..
I can't jive anymore.. I come over all dizzy.. and forget which way I am meant to be facing..

Good grief - I think I'll give that one a miss!

Oh, how unladylike!  Your skirt will drop down over your head and show everything off to the world. 😳

😂  No problem.  Most blokes would be happy to look at your legs anyway!

Yes, I used to do that quite a lot, in the old days of course, but you had to be careful not to risk it until it was going slow enough.

We used to jump off at traffic lights.. as the bus was slowing down..
The conductor never stopped us..

.. and cross the road between the cars..
