I’m not super tall for a human nor am I exceptionally tall for a girl, but I am a few inches on the up side of average. I’m 5’9″ (1.75 meters), which some of you may agree is fairly tall for a girl.

I say I’m 5’9″, but it’s really something like 5 ft 9 ½ inches. However, since I aged out of single digits, I haven’t felt the need to count my age nor height in quarters and halves. Though I guess I just did.

Anyway, I thought tell all you short people the benefits and disadvantages of being tall (for a girl).

Pro:

I don’t typically need to stand on something to reach the top shelf. I can reach all the shelves in my closet and in my kitchen, and I can change most light bulbs in my house without a stepladder.

Con:

All the short people I know…
