I stand 4'10", so I am very small. While I am okay with being a shortie, there are benefits to being a tall person I very much want.
- take stairs two at a time
- "where are your parents, sweetheart?"
- won't get trapped in the subway crush
- won't be bumped into and run over in crowds
- more leg power when lifting boxes
- more wingspan when carrying boxes
- won't drag long things on the ground when carrying them
- no more scampering to catch up to others
- "yes, i'm tall enough to ride the rides" (barely)
