a small advantage

i have always wished i would have been a few inches taller than i am. over time some of the negatives have turned into positives.
because i was a petite kid, i was always mistaken for being much younger, which as a kid can be quite annoying. no sneaking in to r rated movies for me! of, course at this late date, im glad to be mistaken for much younger.
in my opinion tall senior citizens seem much older than their petite counterparts. i think that when someone sees a tall older person, who was once this strapping force of youth, now a hunched over older person, its a much greater contrast to someone who was always short who has aged.
when a petite person gains weight one will usually still fit in to standard sizes. when a tall person gains weight they need to head over to the plus size section.
this in short is a small (person's) advantage.
