Another member of the 5' 2" club here!
My mom is about 5'4, and I'm close to being 5'8. (especially when I stand up straight!)
She got to calling me "Giraffe" when I was around fourteen or so, and always called me to get stuff off the high shelves.
The best story I have is when we were out shopping one day. Mom was looking for something, I forget what exactly, but she couldn't find it to save her life. So she had me go look, and in about ten seconds I'd found what she wanted. I brought it to her, and she asked how I found it so quickly. When I replied with "I looked up." my poor little mom almost smacked me.
She never did have an appreciation for good sarcasm.

...and you just KNOW there'll be a "while yer down there" joke....When we meet, I'll explain it to your knees.
...Tracy is 5'1" and I'm 6'9", and the boys fell in betwixt that...Seth is a solid 6'0" and Harrison probably 5'11"....we line up side by side and we look like a fraggin' AT &T cell signal......
seriously. You just verbally rick rolled me?
....that would be "Never Gonna Give You Up"....
...allow me to illustrate with Gingerboy's help...
depends if you're male or female. For a female it's not. Except if your're a female basketball player. About 1991 I dated a women who was six foot one and she said the reason she liked me was because most men were intimidated by her and used to make cracks at her to hide their insecurity.
ahh,"surprisingly short" and two are hobbit actors? Who the hell writes these pieces?
Danny Devito. I watched an episode of Taxi recently. They also have Night Court on the same channel which I like. I always liked John Larroquette in stuff.
Oh, okay. So for a female it is not.
I'm so envious! My youngest daughter is already 5'6" at 12, she's going to be tallish.
I thought that photo looks like how the Ogre and I stack up next to each other - he's 6', I'm 5'2" but never without 2" heels, so I pass for 5'4".
I'd be happy to be 5'4" naturally, I fake it and it hurts my feet.
Not if you're standing next to me
Joe Pesci, Michael J Fox 5'4
Daniel Radcliffe, Dustin Hoffman 5'5
Paul Williams 5'2
They missed a bunch.
