Well actually only one short person. Today is the shortest day of the year and, appropriately, Short Girls Appreciation Day. I have a long history of appreciating short girls. Most of my friends in high school and college were about 5'2". Since I'm 5'10" I tend to notice these things. My shortest short girl friend is my sister-in-law who is 4'11" which makes her an interesting life companion for my brother who is 6'6" tall. When he stands on his knees he is taller than she is. They have obviously made it work though. They do have five children. When they were first married they came from Spokane to visit in Fort Wayne for Christmas one year. I took my sister-in-law to Glenbrook Mall. At that time there was a petite shop there that she wanted to check out. Sadly, the skirts there were too long for her. As I roamed around the racks with her I felt like Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians. When we checked out (she did find something she wanted to buy) she pulled out her wallet and the clerk looked at me like it was so cute that I was letting my little girl pay for her own purchase.
