I'm Over 6 Feet Tall In A Family Of Little People. Here's What It's Like.

Growing up, I wanted to be a dwarf. I actually thought there was something wrong with me because I didn’t look like everyone else in my family ― my mom, dad, brother and sister all have dwarfism. The likelihood of two parents with dwarfism having an average size child depends on the types of dwarfism they have, but in my case, I had a 75% chance of being a dwarf. I was born without dwarfism, despite the odds.

At 8 years old, I had officially outgrown everyone in the family including my parents. A few years later, I would be over 6 feet tall. By the time I turned one, my mom couldn’t pick me up, and I couldn’t sit on her lap.

Growing up in an all-little home had its own unique complications. Everything in the house was lowered to help my family reach things: the kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedrooms, cars, and even the toys (basketball hoop and balls, play area, etc.).

I got used to everything that comes with being the only tall one in my family, like being the designated light bulb changer and tripping over step stools daily. And I can’t lie, I definitely used my situation to my advantage at times ― like hiding all the best snacks in high places.

You're right.

She just lets it slide.
