If you're 5'3 or under, you're probably considered to be a bit on the short side. Now there's no shame in being tall, it's just that you have different struggles than us shorties. Here are some things that us short girls have all heard or experienced before!
1. "Wow, you're really short!"
Really I had no idea, thank you for telling me something I didn't know!
2. "You're like a munchkin!"
Just so you know, all short people hail from Munchkin Land.
3. "Short girls are crazy!"
Don't worry guys, no matter the shape or size, all girls are crazy.
4. "Why are you so short?"
I don't know, try asking my parents, they made me like this!
5. When a tall person pats you on the head:
If you want to pat a short person on the head, don't! We hate that! We are people, not a puppy!
6. When tall people stand in front of you:
We can't see over you, that's not how it works! That's why we get to stand in the front!
7. "You're the perfect height for an armrest."
If you thought patting short people on the head was a good idea, then you probably think using us as an armrest is too. It's worse, we're people not a chair!
8. Wearing heels and still being shorter than everyone else:
No matter what you do, you're still short, so why bother wearing heels?
9. "How tall are you?"
We don't get this question too often, it's usually something we ask tall people.
10. When tall people hold stuff over our heads to make us reach for it.
If you're taller than us, of course, we won't be able to reach it!
11. Trying to walk next to tall people:
We can't match your strides with our little legs!
12. Your feet almost never touch the floor when you sit in a chair.
You feel like a little kid trying to sit in the big kid chair.
13. Short girls always get lost in crowds.
My tall friends always lose me in crowds. It's not their fault, I'm short and I tend to wander.
14. You can't make eye contact with many people.
It's not that we don't want to make eye contact, it's just that most people aren't in our field of vision.
15. "Have you always been this short?"
As far as I know, this is as tall as I'm going to get!
16. But short people do miss out on some things.
We miss out on that world up there in the high altitudes with the tall people. What is the weather like up there, we'll never know!
17. We've all come to terms with being short.
We're not short, we're just unusually not tall.
