Last year, I got a pair of actually flat flats, and it was funny how people thought I was short wearing them. I feel like the boots I'm wearing now are "flats," but really they have like an inch and a half of heel.
What is your childhood trauma?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hey, I call it a pimp walk because it's called a pimp walk.
I'm backing ita up on this one. Even "strut" doesn't quite apply.
And ita is not short. Her height is just right (as it is the same as mine).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going to take my effectively 5'11 self and apply sushi to my migraine and see how that works out. Despite having brought lunch.

what counts as tall?
Tall is taller than me. Short is shorter than me. But I'll be kind and admit to an inch or two of "normal" extending below me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
ita is short, even in high heels.
Hey! ita's taller than me by an inch, and I am not short!
I always feel weirdly short when I wear my CAT boots (flattish work boots) out at night, since I'm normally in 3 inch heels.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That can't be right, Juliana. We've proven that ita is (okay, a teensy little bit) shorter than I am, but I think you are taller than I am.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
5'8" is not short. Just sayin'.
Most people who know me IRL think I'm taller than I am. I think I just have a tall presence.

What's funny is that when I actually put on heels in the apartment? I feel positively ginormous, because suddenly I can see all the topsides of the bookcases. And the dust. I'm just not used to that ange of view inside. ( I don't put on shoes until I'm about to walk out the door.)

I buckeled up my cilantro when I drove home from buying salad forks which I plan to eat steak with.

Nope. I'm always in heels and you're always in flats when we hang out. And I think we drank too much champagne when I stayed over to be doing any height comparison.
