Right, this blog is going to come across a little bit like a rant of a mad woman, however at this point I do not care. I am sick and tired of people commenting on my height. Just today at work I had an elderly man, well i say elderly , he was old enough to know better but not old enough to come across a sweet old man. He asked me after I greeted him at the entrance of my work place "Is every one in your family this petite? Your mother? Your father?" After biting my tongue I informed him "Yes, yes we are." I even mmanaged a smile. He Tutted. Yes tutted. And said must be hard to find clothes, absolutely gobsmacked I was.
Yes It can be hard in the world of a little person , however I do not see it as a bad trait some times. It means during gigs I can sneak in between people and get to the front. And I'm pocket sized, which is cute right? well apparently not.
I understand Its not just little people like me who get this relentless mocking, no doubt taller people get this also. Things like 'giant', 'giraffe' and 'hows the weather up there?' are things often heard by friends of mine who tower above me.
But one thing that does put a smile on my face is when my tall friends moan about the fact they cant wear heels on a night out or have a boyfriend who is shorter than them, is the fact that I can wear heels of any height and not worry about guys being shorter than me because as i stand i am only a measly 5ft1 or 2, i can rest safe in the knowledge not many men will be shorter than that.
