I take off my clothes and all these ties

[sovay]

The physical therapist I am seeing for my back has now referred to me clinically as tall and middle-aged. I have no issue with my age, but I have always thought of myself as on the shorter side of medium height and anything else an illusion of the way I carry myself. My family made me look up the average AFAB height in the U.S. My mother has offered to get me a cardigan for being tall and middle-aged in. In high school she was devastated when she grew that quarter-inch taller than Mickey Rooney, because now he would never ask her to dance. She is not very sympathetic.

My half-sisters and I all got the height gene -- five-nine, five-ten, and six feet (me) respectively. ( had a monster growth spurt and was six feet tall when I was twelve years old! People thought I was in college. It was wild.

My husband is five-ten and says he enjoys my height, unlike all the guys who were five-ten and confidently said they were six feet or over and then were flummoxicated by my existing in flat shoes.
