11 Things You Need To Stop Saying To Short People
Google

I have always been the "short" girl. But, that's okay. You see, being short isn't that bad until you start hearing every joke in the book. I am currently 4'11 and I have heard every short joke or saying the world has to offer. So, if you say these things to me, be prepared to be roasted and then you can watch my short-self walk right pass you.

Take notes, do NOT say these things.

1. How's the weather down there?

Well you see, the weather is exactlythe same as it is up there with you. Imagine that.

2. Are you a legal midget?

Please, go to google and type in "What is the height to be considered a legal midget?" and I promise, you won't find anything. But what you will find is that there is a medical condition called Dwarfism and people suffer from this every day. So, way to go asshole.

3. Oh, sorry I didn't see you there.

Ha ha ha. Maybe you should go to the eye doctor to get some glasses if you seriously can't see a human right in front of you.

4. Can you even see over the steering wheel?

Well, I obviously have my license and can drive. So yes, I can see over the steering wheel thanks to my adjustable steering wheel and seats. Thanks for asking.

5. You're not short, you're FUNSIZED.

Please never ever use any sentence with the word fun-sized in it. Let's keep that saying on the T-shirts you buy at beach shops.

6. Can you fit into kids clothes and shoes?

Actually, I can. Sucks for you because kids clothes are cheaper.

7. You are the perfect arm rest.

Excuse me, please remove your arm from the top of my head.

8. Your feet seriously don't touch the ground?

Why ask me that when you can clearly look at my feet. I am fully aware they do not touch the ground in some instances.

9. [Skeptical look] … You know the legal age right? May I see your ID, please?

It's fine, here ya go. I already had it ready for you.

10. You have to sit in the middle.

Um... thanks for asking where I would like to sit.

11. Are your parents short?

If you are wondering if it runs in my family, it's none of your business.


I was born short, and I will use that trait to my advantage. So, unless you want to catch some sass, keep your mouth shut.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
