this is what you don't say to a short person

'i like how people who feel short learn EXACTLY how tall they are - '5' 1.75' vs. 5' 2''...i'm surprised you only learned to 2 decimal places.'

Just got that in an email. I have nice friends.

That's not short. But not Amazon. That's nicely in the middle.

I thought you meant that your friends were making fun of you because you're short.

Well - they do.

But we were talking about height in an email exchange and I said that I learned that I wasn't 5'2' but slightly shorter - so that's where the make fun of the JB comes in.

If you actually said that in an email then you set yourself up for it. LOL Maybe you were just looking for attention. LOL

Being 'tall' is no picnic either. Not easy to find pants that are long enough. And shoe size totally ***** too. Size 10's here.

Re: this is what you don't say to a short person

I am actually 4'11.85.

Re: this is what you don't say to a short person

I'm almost a foot taller than you.

If I hugged you, your face would be in my chest.

See? There's benefits to being short.

I wear a 9 1/2 shoe. It is hard!

Being 'big boned' isn't a picnic either. LOL I can't buy clothing at most stores and the stores that do carry my size are all designed for old ladies.
