In response to
my super amazing post on the challenges presented by longer bones, a good friend suggested I tell the other side, how amazing it is to be tall.
For Your Enjoyment
It is cool to be tall because...
You almost never look up into anybody's nostrils.
Tall people don't usually block your view.
You can reach over the dishwasher to the cupboard behind it and unload. I still think that's stupid design though.
You can see what' s on top of the fridge.
You can reach high limbs when climbing trees.
You can open right and left side car doors at once. Don't know why you'd ever want to but you can.
You can dress in drag convincingly. Don't know why... ditto, ditto.
You'll be taller than your kids for a long, long time.
When everyone else is swimming, you can still be walking.
When you give hugs, you almost never smell anybody's armpits.
You get a great view of bald spots and combovers. I'm not sure that's a benefit, actually.
It's hard for small children to put frosting in your hair.
You can find a precarious balance in which neither your head nor your feet are hanging out of bed.
Longer legs can help you run fast. Faster than toddlers, anyway.
People hesitate to beat you up. Is that true?
And finally, everybody assumes it's cool to be tall so you get lots of compliments. Alrighty.
And there you have it. Be glad to be whatever you are.
THE END
