Being short

I am short. I have been 5'3" since I was about 13 years old (sometimes when I measure, it only says 5'2"). Being short has wonderful advantages...I would hate to be taller than Michael.
 Other advantages are:

1. I can ask other people to do things for me..."Cam, can you reach that up on the fridge for me?" 
2. I have plenty of leg room in a car or an airplane
3. I don't bump my head on things very often
4. I can sleep on the couch without my legs having to hang over the side
5. I can be taller just by wearing heels
6. I have less chance of being hit by lightning

But there are a lot of disadvantages to being short:

1. I cannot reach much of anything...I am constantly asking for help
2. I can't see over the person's head in front of me (this is not good in movies or in church)
3. I cannot see anything when I am in a crowd of people
4. My feet hardly ever touch the floor when I am seated (this is the pits)
5. Almost all clothing that I buy is too long...that is aggravating
6. You may not be tall enough to ride the rides at an amusement park
7. My neck gets tired because I am constantly looking up at people
8. Everyone in my family is taller than me
