I'll try to keep this short and sweet (pun intended) but, all jokes aside it is 2017 and 2018 is just around the corner. On behalf of my fellow shorties I am quite confident to say enough is enough. We know and have known for a very long time that we are, in fact, short. It isn't a surprise to us when someone brings that piece of information to our attention. We live our life, we get it. Here's 4 things us shorties deal with everyday, without fail, so we can't and won't forget how short we are compared to you giants.

1. We get mistaken for children

This is the number one thing that irritates us. People have this view of short people that we are children,I know we are pretty close in size, but come on. We can do whatever you can, if not better!!

2. Walking with our tall friends is a challenge

Trying to keep up is a struggle, remember our 35 steps is no match for your 3. Slow your roll.

3. You can't see us behind regular sized objects

Whether we're at the mall, work or any event it's us against any object taller than 5'4''. People walk by not noticing us and when they decide to look over, they jump and act like we tried to scare them. No people, just standing here minding our own business. Sorry we are camouflaged by our surroundings.

4. Normal length clothes aren't "normal"

Even though we are lacking a couple of inches, we rock everyday to the best of our ability! Everyday chores can be a hassle due to not being able to reach.. or falling into the washing machine, but we will make it day by day!

Shorties unite!
