I am and have always been taller than everyone else.

It's a gift and curse. In stores you can reach everything on the top shelves and can often get better products because they are out of reach for most people. However, there are annoyances that come with being super tall. There will always that one person that will question your entire life because you are exceedingly tall.

This person will want to know every single detail about your tallness and won't stop until they've figured you out. These are the top ten comments about my height.

1. "Wow! You're really tall!"

Shhh! Don't tell anyone! I'm trying to keep it a secret.

2. "How tall are you?"

5'11". "Really? You must be taller than that." Why would I lie about how tall I am to a stranger?

3. "Your parents must be really tall."

Yes, they are. My mom is 5'10" and my dad is 6'5". I come from a long lineage of giraffes.

4. "Where do you find clothes that fit?"

The same places that you do. Just in the "Extra-Long" size.

5. "You're so tall! You must have played basketball!"

Yes, I fulfilled the tall girl stereotype. I played basketball for nine years, but that shouldn't be the first thing you assume about me. I don't assume that you play Mini-Golf because you are short. (I'm also very sarcastic).

6. "Do you have to wear those heels? You're already tall enough."

Yes, I do have to wear these heels. If I was 5' 4" you wouldn't be questioning it.

7. "How's the weather up there?"

It's a little cloudy, but the view is great.

8. "Do you like being tall?"

Yes! Even though strangers always ask me all these tall questions.

9. "Have you always been this tall?"

I've always been a lot taller than my peers. People began asking me where I was going to college at age 11.

10. "Would you rather be tall or be short?"

Tall. The answer will always be tall. Bending over to pick something up will always be a pain, but I love being able to reach everything.
