You don't have to be short to be vertically challenged... Try being taller than 6 and a half feet... because "everything" is geared to that being the outer limit. Doorways, chandeliers, beds, vehicle seats, the list just goes on and on.I'm not short, I'm vertically challenged.
Reminds me of another quote...

Food for thought there. Great quote.
A new one I found on FB today that a friend posted;
Great quote. Don't know where she found it, but I had to pass it along.I don't think the worst thing that could happen to me is raising a child with special needs. I think the worst thing is to raise a child who is cruel to those with special needs. ~unknown~
