Throughout my entire life, I've always been on the shorter side, whether I'm with my friends, family, or anyone, really. While I don't hate being short, it gets old pretty fast when I hear the same comments from people all of the time. *eye roll*

I understand that most people mean well, but that doesn't change the fact that hearing something about my height for the 600th time can get rather annoying. If you're short like me, you'll know exactly where I'm coming from, so here are 14 things short girls are told on a regular basis.

1. "How can you sit to close to the steering wheel? I can't even get in the car with the seat up this far."

2. "What's the weather like down there?"

3. "OMG, that 10 year old kid is taller than you!"

4. "Do you think you're going to grow any more?"

5. "Oh sorry, I didn't see you there. You're so tiny."

6. "You're so cute. How old are you?"

7. "How tall are you, exactly?"

8. "How do you reach things on the top shelf?"

9. "Do your feet touch the ground when you sit down?"

10. "Being short isn't all that bad because you can fit in small places."

11. "You're fun-size."

12. "Well, at least you can wear heels, no matter who you're standing next to."

13. "I feel so tall right now."

14. "Would you like a kid's menu?"

15. "Can you ride on rollercoasters at amusement parks?"

16. "Can you shop in the kid's section?"

17. "Don't worry; you're going to be so happy you look young when you're like 40."

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about.

It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general.
