Disadvantages

I sit here and wonder bored in this air port, what life would be like If I was short. How would I reach the carry on compartments all the way above the seat? In restaurants I'd need a booster chair, and I'd have really tiny feet. I could crawl through tiny doors, and climb trees with the squirrels. I'd be an expert at hide and seek and hang out with all the short girls. I would point and laugh at tall people. They have no advantages in life. Who wants to be tall? What guy wants a tall wife? Short people yearn for height, extra inches is all they want. Well I want crawling advantages, and have a little body I could flaunt. I'd give anything to be short. Even a foot or two. I just want to be normal, there's so much I could do. “Flight 41 for boarding.” said the stewardess aloud. No more day dreaming, no more short, and poof went the cloud. I stood up and grabbed my bag as people stared in appall. But hey, you get used to it when you're over seven feet tall.
