For those of you who don't know me, I'm only four foot nine, which I can't go a day without being reminded of. From the things people ask me, to the things I physically cannot do, here is a list of 15 problems all petite girls understand (and it doesn't end here):
First of all, you’ll probably always be asked how tall you are.
The answer is: I’m not tall.
Standing on your tippy toes to kiss your significant other.
Okay, you bend down, and I’ll stand on my tippy toes.
Needing a stool for virtually everything.
Closet? Yup. Shelves? Uh huh. Shopping? Yes, I wasn’t kidding.
Or when you climb on household objects.
When you don’t have shoes for a special occasion.
Sure, being able to fit into kid's shoes is great for the bank, but Dora isn't going to make the cut for the wedding.
Having to get your entire wardrobe tailored because even petites are too big.
Apparently only models can wear pants.
Being an arm rest for your taller friends.
“Oh my god, I can lean on your head!”
Or when your friends constantly ask to pick you up.
Personal space, please. Personal space.
You'll only be referred to as “adorable”
You will probably feel like a ten year old girl all of your life.
When people ask if you’re a legal midget.
“You could probably get a handicap pass!”
When a girl taller than you complains about how short she is.
Please. Tell me more.
Constantly getting stuck behind the tall people at the movies.
Yeah, the movie SOUNDED funny.
Getting cut in line.
"Oh sorry, were you on line?”
Or getting stuck behind a group of people.
You’ll probably never know what happened on the other side.
And finally there’s a perk: you’ll always get to merrily kick your feet.
Yes, it is as fun as it looks.
