Gee, how smart they are!

I'm glad I live in a place where short people seem to be the
norm...otherwise my daughter might be similarily treated.  My husband
and I are BOTH 5'3".  He is a little bit on the short side of "average"
for men (which is more like 5'5-5'6"), and I am just average for women. 
My Mother-in-law is about 4'10" and I see many people of that height
around here.

Luckily since the population is all like that, they have a harder time
trying to scare us into thinking we're too short.  ;-)
