She likes to say, "Here's my OLDER sister," or, "Too bad you'll never be taller than me."<br />It drives me nuts! Although, my cousin came up with a good point...someday when it's time for us shorties to get married...it's said that guys like shorter girls ;)<br />-Lauren <3Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961761075351133085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545482866851524795.post-21339834236109992942014-10-25T00:14:00.509+11:002014-10-25T00:14:00.509+11:00I'm pretty average for my age, not tall, not s...I'm pretty average for my age, not tall, not short, but I can see that there are some disadvantages to both.

I try to reach a plate in the kitchen cabinets and it ends up being some kind of jumping for your life session. Plus, you have to try not to break anything. I don't have the problem with the clothes though,they actually seem to fit me fine. But, people often think I'm younger than I'm really am. Once last year, I was going up the top steps to the 3 highest grade levels of the school (I was in fourth grade then) and some boys (who were in third grade) started whispering, "What is she doing up here?" "I don't know!" Then they asked me , "What grade are you in?" and I told them and they were very surprised. But, after a while you get used to people thinking you are young. Its actually kind of good in a way, because when we are old and have grown up, we will look young. Oh, and, be proud of your shortness!<br /><br />Great post!<br />Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12420499053256631407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545482866851524795.post-39975539875847986112014-10-24T15:51:10.085+11:002014-10-24T15:51:10.085+11:00Is it easier being in a family of short people?

I'm hopeless at turning my clothes up and normal end up tripped over them:)<br />I'm too scared to bring out the tape measure as well. Everyone knows their heights, but I'm too scared too try!<br />That would have been embarrassing. I can't imagine that. Seems we have opposite problems.

It always annoys me when I buy clothes and then have to turn up the hems just so I can wear them. I took a skirt up 8cm last week and it's still floor length. Fashions are made for average to tall people I'm afraid. I never had a problem with the age thing. People used to take me for older than I was actually. Once I was out with my (then) 15, 111 and 7 year old sisters and someone asked if I was their mother! But my sister Charlotte has the age problem. She turned 17 and people thought she was 13. Poor girl's even shorter than me. Most of the time I'm happy being short thankfully. It's only clothes and people making me feel small that I don't like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746017057593508370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545482866851524795.post-88856945097519223862014-10-24T14:32:38.021+11:002014-10-24T14:32:38.021+11:00I have taken to wearing no stipes.

And climbing on cabinets on my house is what I do. I'm on 4'11" (which is like, 1.4986 meters) and it's just hard. And I hate that part when tall people complain. Be lucky that you're tall!
