Elly needed a ruler for her homework and searched the house for quite some time before coming up empty handed. She thought about it for a while and said “I am going to make my own ruler.”

“You go, girl. Way to improvise!”

She took a piece of paper and made one inch marks using her thumb as a guide. Then she took clear tape to cover it so it couldn’t be written on or marked up by her pencil as she used it.

“Now I can get my work done!” she exclaimed. “Do you know what I’m going to call my ruler?”

“What are you going to call your ruler, Elly?”

“Drastic Measures.”
