Short Girl Problems

As someone who teeters on the shorter edge of normal, I know all too well some of the problems that can arise from being... petite in stature. Highlights of this particular gene quality include:

1. Being an arm rest for anyone above six foot. If you do this, please remove your arm and exit my life ASAP.

2. Similarly, having your hair ruffled or being referred to as 'cute'. The five year olds are that direction, thank you.

3. Having to stand on the bottom shelf at the supermarket and jump in order to have any chance at reaching the ONLY product you want on the top shelf. Where are the steps when you need them?!

4. Not wearing heels on a night out and subsequently being on armpit height with everyone else...

5. That dreaded moment when you're told to 'stand in height order'. The only faint bonus is that you always know where you're going to be standing. Right. At. The. End.

6. The fun game in school called 'how many year sevens are taller than me this year?'. It loses it's appeal after the first five or so.

7. Your younger brother grew taller than you before he even hit puberty. 

8. Your younger sister probably did too.

9. Having to adjust your car seat after someone who's six foot odd has driven it. And the steering wheel. (Try sharing a car with a twin brother who's 6"1!)

10. And finally, kissing. Enough said. 


Hope you enjoyed! Have you got any short girl problems of your own? Or maybe even tall girl problems? Let me know!
