11-Year-Old Girl Invents Prosthetic Arm That Shoots Glitter, Because Glitter Is Life

Jordan Reeves is the coolest 11-years-old ever. It’s easy to see why, considering she just created an arm that shoots glitter–which makes it kind of like a glitter bomb. Reeves was born with an arm that stops just above the elbow, which is why she started inventing different kinds of prosthetics.

Recently, she debuted her inventions to investors of Shark Tank during Rachael Ray’s daytime show last week. What’s more awesome than that? One of her prosthetics helps her use a two-handed paper towel dispenser, created with the help of a 3D printer–while the other is the prized glitter arm, aptly called “Project Unicorn.”

While Jordan has a great attitude regarding people who stare at her arm, she also told the Kansas City Star that it’s not always easy ignoring them:

“If they are staring, I’ll say ‘Don’t stare, just ask.’ I actually have a shirt that says that. I want them to come up and ask me. I want them to know that it’s OK. It’s not a bad thing. We all find our own way to do stuff.”

So, why the glitter? (Well, besides why not). Jordan said that “you can never be sad with sparkles.” That’s probably the truest thing ever said. Glitter is basically just like heaven:
