Being short

While I generally complain about being short, I recently decided I quite like it. It lets me get away with a number of things that I really like. Like dancing in the rain or like sitting crosslegged on the floor. Or clicking my heels. Or being excited by the small things. If I do any of those things, people will accept it as "cute," and that will be that. Since I'm small of stature, I am expected to be more childish than the normal population.
I also get cheap movie tickets sometimes. And while it still smarts to be given crayons at restaurants, I do like coloring.
Plus, I fit into cute shoes, like the ones they always have on display. It comes in handy when there are no salespeople to help me. I just try on the one on the shelf.
I've been collecting the clothes I have now for about 5 years, because I've barely grown. This gives me a chance to hone what I own down to my favorite things.
So it's not a lose-lose situation. I feel bad when people mistake me for a fifth grader, but I also get to dance and draw and have nice clothes.
