TGP #6 Tall girl jokes are getting old.

Recently, I have heard a few tall girl jokes that inspired me to write this blog. I was at the Saint Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday and I was wearing my cowgirl boots that make me about a inch taller. While I was walking around with my friend, people had to nerve to ask me how tall I was and some even said things to me like "woh look at that girl she’s like 7'2." This made me VERY angry because I am not that tall. Just because someone is taller than you does not make them a giant. Maybe they are normal size and you are the midget.

There are a lot of offensive things you can say to someone that is taller than you.. The most common would have to be "how’s the weather up there?" or "Are you going to be able to fit?" An old joke is when someone who is tall has pants that are too short, one can ask "whens the flood?" or "are you expecting a flood soon?"

I will never forget this one kid who makes a tall joke almost every day at school (not saying names). Every day I walk into class there is something new about me not being able to fit somewhere or hitting my head on something or calling me weird names that don’t even make sense. The one question that he asks that makes me the maddest is "Whitney, why are you so tall?" WELL I DONT KNOW! If you want to know so bad go ask my mom or my doctor! I guess the next question I should ask is why are you so short? Remarks like this make us tall girls the maddest.

 I think over time tall girls get used to hearing little smart remarks about them being tall. Sometime we will even take the jokes as a complement because we'd rather hear your bad jokes than having your stubby little legs.
