You mean we're SUPPOSED to duck? I always forget that part...


When I was younger I would climb on up on counters or use chairs to reach stuff, being clumsy, I learned my lesson the hard way. If you can't reach something it might be a good idea to get a small step ladder or stool.

My Mom always says that she is 4' 11 3/4". She is REALLY 4' 11" but it makes her feel taller so I let it slide
She could really use that shirt

Well almost, if I could just shrink down to 5'7 that would be nice.

But at least now I have something to show for it!




I was blowing a raspberry to my sister at the time, so don't mind that.


Now if it only came in an x-small.

LOVE IT!!! I'm short, too (5ft 1/2"), and I feel your pain. That's why I married a 6-footer! He's so handy to have around the house.

I am only 5' 3" myself. My mother is a little less than 5 feet, though she won't admit it!

I am another one in the short club. I stand 5'3" tall while my husband is 6'2". So he is handy to have around to get anything out of the upper cabinets in the kitchen
I like this shirt and several of it to go around to all the short folk in my family.

Helen! I do the same thing
I'm almost 5'1'' so yep, I need to climb on stuff to get stuff! A big cooking fork or spoon is always handy for reaching up high....if not, there's always a step ladder or two around (I keep one handy & closeby in my pantry)...

Shorties Rule!

DW is the same height you are and she found some data that showed that short people live longer, about a year for each inch. They used 5' 4" as the starting point for a woman, so you should live 4 extra years. My ex wife was 6' 0, so according to the data, she would live 8 years less. Thought this might cheer you up.
