Happy National Short Girl Appreciation Day

Good news! People are telling me that it's my day. At 5' 3 1/2" I qualify as a short girl. Remember school pictures where they would line up the kids and have the short ones in the front row? Yep, I was guaranteed a spot in the front.


When I told my tall teenaged daughter about today, she matter-of-factly said, "Mom, you have a day!"
Wait! What happened to Mother's Day?

Anyhow, share the good news with your friends who only grew as much as they needed.
The friends who
1. unabashedly ask strangers in the supermarket to get down stuff from the utmost top shelves.
2. preface requests with, "You're tall. Would you...?"
3. appreciate truck running boards.
4. until now, didn't know that tall people can see the end of the hood of the car from the driver's seat.

Even though I have found MANY days being called short girl appreciation day, I will claim today as my own and get that step-stool with pride.

My daughter wants to know when Tall Girl Appreciation Day is, as she has replaced my strangers in the supermarkets.
