    As a short guy, this was not something I got to take part in a lot of the time and now that my ankle is fucked I’m not even going to chance jumping or running anymore.

        Wana trade? I’m 5’6 and I would do dam near anything to be 5’10. Outside of a halfbrother who is 6’3, I’m the tallest one in my family.

          I feel a bit sorry for my son who’s down on how short he is. It looks like he’s plateauing at 5’8” or 5’9”. Trying to tell him he’s at least average height doesn’t work when im 6’3” and the guys in my family are pretty much all 6+.

          …. My ex makes jokes about poisoning my gene pool but never within hearing of the kid. He can’t help but see she is only 5’2” though

            Ya, he needs to come hang out with me for a bit, lol. He can reach the top shelf for me and get stuff down off the top of my closet for me when my wife(she’s like 5’10ish) isn’t around.

        You just have to aim higher. When your friend jumps to tap the exit sign, you jump to tap the ceiling.

        I still giggle every time someone struggles to change a lightbulb, when I can just reach up and do it
