These are also pretty average stats, but you know the thing about averages is that not everyone is average. That's where a sense of humor has to come in because if you're shorter than the crowd you're going to be the butt end of a ridiculous amount of jokes. Once you hit that cap on your height you learn pretty quickly that it's best to have a good chuckle over it because otherwise, you develop a reputation for being that angry, short person and that's so much worse than just being the short person.

Along the way, obviously, us shorties have figured out that we do see and experience the world differently.... mostly because we can't reach anything.
