shareTall enough to know better
share5 '4" female
shareFemale, 4' 12½".
😉🤭
2 and a half inches shorter and you'd be a genuine midget. But hey, at least you're on the right side of 5" lol.
shareWow. Does that make my late sister a midget? She was 4' 10".
shareShe was right on the cusp. Anyone with normal proportions under 4" 10" is officially a midget. Anyone who's out of proportion under 4" 10" is officially a dwarf.
shareI don't think she was out of proportion. But I have to say, she was one person around whom I felt tall. 🤭😉 Both my parents were below average in height, so I think that explains the family heights.
Two of my granddaughters have always been in the 90th percentile in height for their age groups, but their father is 6'4", so not unexpected.
Proportion meaning just "normal" human being proportions. Like regular arm length, regular finger length, regular head size, regular torso size etc. Dwarfism is when you have mutated genes and you have big head, short torso, short arms, normal hands and fingers, or long arms with short, stubby sausage fingers, short legs normal size feet, or any combination thereof etc.
shareThat's what I thought you meant, and she was definitely normally proportional.
shareThere are many dwarf actors out there. But this Italian actor is the only genuine midget that I can recall seeing.

I was five foot 11 in high school. Five foot 9 and a half now. Shrunk a whole inch and a half by the time I hit 45. Given my chronic back pain, I suspect I have a compressed spine or something. Always wished I was a solid 6 feet. Just cause I like even numbers. But it's nice to fit well in tight spaces. Saved a few hundred dollars not needing extra height in my trailer. Stuff like that.
shareI feel your pain. I have chronic back pain, too. It's very annoying.
shareI was dealing for a long time. But all the sudden it got so, so much worse and now I really worry for my future. That's fun. I can't sit for too long now in a bad restaurant seat. I have to stand up and walk around. It's making people think i'm a weirdo.
shareI understand. I'm fine when I'm sitting, but when standing, trying to do chores, I get about 10 minutes before my back starts "screaming" at me. Sleeping is a challenge, though. 😞
shareI have NO ass. I'm a flat ass. This was a fun bit of ridicule in my youth. But now i'm actively compressing my bones into my ligaments and arteries and things. You can literally feel it. You can feel the compression of blood flow. And then stuff starts tweaking and going numb and spasming. It actually changes how your heart beats. So bad chairs are bad, road trips are a nightmare. Sleeping is a whole damn thing. I have to prop myself into this recliner position with pillows and that gets me through the night, but it does nothing good for my body. Start every morning with a long sequence of stretches which I repeat later in the day. There's a great bit in that Louie CK show where the doctor shows him these stretches he needs to do and Louie is like, "how long do I have to do this?" Forever. This is your life now. lmao. Anyhow, i'm still alive, my pecker still works, it could be worse.
