Fab quote for shorties

**EmmaReed84** · 11-05-2012, 04:29 PM

I am only 5ft2 and forever looking for new witty comeback when people make jokes about my height... I just found this and had to share it

"God only let's things grow until they are perfect, some of us didn't take as long as other!"

Great... especially if that person happens to be REALLY tall lol

Anyone else got some good quotes, witty comebacks?

My usual is "Good things come in small packages!" I am 5'3" and DH is 6'6" so he gets the opposite! "ooh is it colder up there!"

its better to be small and shine than to be great and cast a shadow!

I used to be told Good things come in little packages , by my Gran , she was 4 ft 9ins , my Mum 5 ft 1/2 ins and I'm 5 ft 2 ins and thought this was a nice thing until someone says " Good things come in little packages,and so does poison"

**madmamma** · 12-05-2012, 08:13 AM

I'd put on weight, and an old friend I'd not seen in years commented on how much bigger I was, so I told her I'd had a baby....

I had.....

8 years earlier!

Your reply should have been... "Exactly, so be careful not to P*** me off!"
