My Dad is only 5& #39;4" or so, and despite encountering other humans throughout my childhood, I just assumed he was a completely normal height, and to this day I just... forget... that we& #39;re an extremely short family.

The family home is optimised to short people which added to me not realising that it was a bit weird. Like... all the door handles are set weirdly low, as are the hooks, etc, and there& #39;s only one cupboard in the kitchen that& #39;s over the (unusually low) counter instead of below it.

I& #39;m 5& #39;2" and my Dad and my Grandad (on the other side of the family) are both only a few inches taller than me.

Short ppl Forever.

This thread is brought to you by me suddenly remembering the fact that I physically can& #39;t reach the hooks in my boyfriends hallway. Not even on my tiptoes.
