How To Tell You’re Short

Twenty ways to tell that you’re short, in no particular order:

1. You usually can’t find shoes that fit and resort to looking in the children’s section.
2. When you do find shoes, you can wear two pairs at the same time – your own inside your husband’s.
3. Skirts end up looking like old ladies’ ones on you because they’re just that little bit too long.
4. 3/4 pants are more like 5/6 pants.
5. Any pants you own have been shortened.
6. High-waisted pants make you look like Urkel. Actually that would probably be the case anyway, regardless of height.
7. Riding a full bus can be a nightmare when the only thing to hold onto are the overhead rails – like, whatever!
8. Sitting in the back seat of the bus usually means sliding around at every corner because your feet don’t reach the floor properly.
9. You get asked for ID when buying an Instant Kiwi.
10. You can’t see squat at a show when everyone is standing.
11. Losing your friends in a crowd is too easy to do.
12. You’re the only one that stores their box of cereal in the condiments cupboard at work because there’s no way you can use the top of the cabinets like everyone else.
13. You’re the only one at work that needed the legs of their desk sawn because they couldn’t lower it anymore in the normal way.
14. Your hubby’s idea of moderating junk food is to hide the goodies on the top shelf of the pantry.
15. Your hubby needs to bend down to kiss you.
16. Your hubby uses your head as a resting post.
17. You blend in with the locals in Hong Kong (whereas your hubby causes people to walk into trees as they stare at him).
18. Hazard signs about bumping your head don’t apply to you.
19. You get told by a three year old that he’ll be as big as you soon.
20. Sitting on a bar stool makes you taller.

Tell me about it! lol This sums up my entire life. Especially the part about people using you as a resting post. I mean I know I’m short, but is that really necessary? :)
