I was always the same height as my friends up until about the 8th grade. That was the year that everyone continued to grow except me. Since then, I am reminded on a daily basis from students, co-workers (Abbott), and friends just how short I really am. This vertical challenge that I have to live with has caused many problems. Here are my top five:
Short Girl Problem #1: People assume you're younger than you really are. Really people?? Do you honestly think that because I'm short I must be much younger?! I guess this means all the tall people look older than they are (Abbott).
Short Girl Problem #2: The sun visor in the car doesn't help while driving. This is a serious problem in Arizona.
Short Girl Problem #3: Going to a concert and the tallest people in the venue are standing in front of you.
Short Girl Problem #4: Having to constantly grab the step stool throughout the house.
Short Girl Problem #5: When people high-five over your head.
Or when your neighboring teacher comes into your class asking "where is my friend?" and it turns out you're standing right in front of him. Good times!
