Have you ever been told that you're "fun sized," or the dreaded phrase, "the size of a child?" Welcome to the Short Women Club.
As short women, we have to stick together against all the people who think it's acceptable to balance their elbows on the tops of our heads or think we're not strong because we're smaller. Even though there are tough times ahead, there are many positive things about being short.
1. You can shop in the kids section
The money you save goes towards the more expensive clothes worth investing in!
2. You don't mind being in the middle seat
All cars are big cars when you've got short legs.
3. You're the perfect cuddle size
The little spoon was made for you. You were made to be little spoon.
4. You'll almost always be in the front row of group pictures
"Oh, you're short, get in front of me" is the best thing to hear as a short woman.
5. You can always rock high heels
Being short allows you to wear those huge platform wedges and become an average height.
6. Shirts on taller people = dresses for the shorter population
Clearly some pieces of clothing don't cater to the short. Lucky for us, T-shirt dresses can be fashionable and extremely comfy.
7. You've learned to scale tall objects or find ways around them
That top shelf of the grocery store? Climb the bottom two shelves and get an arm workout. Top shelf of the kitchen cabinets? Climb up and it's not a problem.
8. You're always being called 'the cute one'
Not everyone likes this title, but it happens often, and sometimes you just have to accept it as a compliment.
9. You're an expert at getting through a crowd
Making through a crowd at a party without having a drink spilled on you is an amazing feat.
10. The unexpected twist
What we lack in height, we make up for with a huge personality.
Embrace being short, because yes, it can make our lives harder at times. But have hope, there's amazing benefits that make life as a short woman worth living.
