My whole life I have heard how short I am. If you are short like me, it’s kind of annoying having the obvious pointed out daily. It is a struggle. Well, it is more of a daily struggle. Here are some questions and statements I hear daily.
Wow, you are short?
Wow, really? I had no idea I was this short my whole life. Thank you for pointing out the obvious to me. But are you sure you just aren’t really tall and I’m the normal one?
How old are you like 16?
No, but it sounds like your IQ number is. Just because I am short doesn’t mean I am automatically five years younger than I am actually am. Nor does it give you the right to treat me like I am five because I am short. But I might actually smile at you if you can guess my actual age.
You aren’t short, you are fun sized!
Negative. I am shockingly an actual human being. Not a piece of candy. But thanks for saying I’m sweet and everybody loves me.
You must love heels!
Who loves having their feet squashed for hours on end in unbearable pain? Not I. I will wear heels but it has to be a special occasion. Other than that, I will embrace the short life.
You're short, get in front of the group photo!
Yeah well... Actually I don’t mind this one. At least I can always be seen in all of the photos.
Being short has became a blessing in my short life, pun intended. It has lead me to be the butt of the joke of the group, the one who always seems to have some sarcastic remark when anybody makes a statement or question my height, and somebody's shoulder to lean on. At times it can be annoying, but I love this short life of mine.
