When you realize you are, in fact, short

yup

i am of pure Dutch stock, so we got some tall genes
out of my generation, my sister is the oldest, i am second oldest and there is probable a dozen our so of us (cousins)
at 6 feet even, i am the runt of the litter

every single one of my male cousins are taller then i am, and about half of my female cousins are taller then i am

and when i say "taller" i dont mean, a hair splitting, maybe wearing thicker soles 1/4 of an inch, i mean several inches
