Has Anbody Seen My Gal?
When I was little, there was a popular song called "Five Foot Two" that started
Five foot two, eyes of blue.
But, oh, what those five feet can do!
Has anybody seen my gal?
As I hit the age of eleven I was five foot two - the tallest kid in my class! Which wasn't so cool since I had a crush on Tom who was a head shorter than me. But, alas, the rest of the kids kept growing and I just stayed there. Oh, I was the tallest woman in my family, even topped many of the men. However, I've spent the majority of my life being vertically challenged.
But, hey! At least I had a song in my honor!! Sadly, those days are over. Yesterday during my annual physical I was weighed and measured and I'm down to 5 1/2" (we do NOT need to discuss the weight figure). I don't think there's any song for that. Now I'm just short.
Sigh............

The body continues to let us down, no?
Hey Sandi :)
Calcium! Lots and lots of calcium and Vitamin D! Religiously. My doctor told me!!
Remember your nana Gene and great grandmother when you think of your height. They both had the most gorgeous eyes........Cookie
In my family, I'm short at 5'8". It's all perspective! :-)
I have to tell you since the title on my sidebar I have been singing this song! I learned this song in elementary school and remember doing the charleston with my friends. I just want to mention that my son is 11 and 5 foot six! AAAAHHHHH!! :)N
Since I saw the title on my sidebar...sorry I am brain dead tonight. Too much Olympics. :)
Why is it the tall girls always fall for the shorter guys?
