When we were in London last year, I stood outside Ripley's, beside a statue of reportedly the world's tallest man...boy did I feel tiny! Lol
But these next photos are with real people in my life...yep! I'm still shorter than them.
The only real problem I have with being short is that all my life I've stretched and strained, stood on tippy-toe to reach things on shelves etc. in my classroom I even had a little stool that I used to stand on to reach the top of the blackboard/whiteboard. And as the years went by it was obvious that I needed something similar at home as the cupboards in the kitchen went right to the ceiling...I couldn't even see what was stored on those high shelves! Lol
One year I walked out to the kitchen on Christmas Eve and there was a gift for me from my 3 stepdaughters...it had a big red ribbon tied to it...
And it was a small ladder...
And every other room if truth be told!
My little stepladder has meant I can be independant when I need something from the higher shelves. It's also used in the garden...and when I wash my car. And even though he's pretty tall DH uses my ladder too!
I'll finish with some memes about being short...

Even at 5'6" I am always stretching to the top shelves - I too have a stepladder that I use for all sorts of things. At least being short I can't see the dust on top of the fridge or the cupboards - and I can live with that!!! Having 6ft sons is a help at times too!!
I can so relate to the purple meme. So many times I've been blinded while driving because the sun visor doesn't work. But you know what they say: good things come in small packages.
Such a positive attitude! I have little step things in my sewing room and walk in wardrobe - and a small ladder thing in the garage....and don't hesitate to get DH to change light bulbs etc.
Funny. I'm the shortest in my family but I don't think of myself as "short". Well, my 6 year old grandsons are shorter but they are catching up. I can already wear their shoes. :-). Hooray for step ladders and step stools. They reside in my kitchen also.
I always found I hated as a teenager being so tall, 5.10 in the olden days was tall, boys were shorted at the dances etc, now I am elderly I have shrunk a couple of inches according to the Dr no sure where the 2" has gone as my clothes still fit but still feel too tall!! Here the things I used are in the wall cupboards and not used in the floor ones.
You are not alone :-)
I can't say I'm 5' :-( Whenever I do, they need to measure and I get caught out - hahaha
My ladder is a constant and well used companion too
