If there's one thing I hate about our relationship, it would have to be my height.

Honestly, that's our problem.

I'm probably on the short side of normal height, which isn't very tall if you ask me. I can reach my top cabinets just fine, and if I need to I'll pull a chair over to a shelf if I need to get something from it.

Now, my boyfriend, he's a tower.

He's probably a good foot or two taller then I am, and it's hard to try and get his attention whenever we're in a packed place out in public.

Along with that, he uses his build to his sad advantage over me.

I hate it when he decides to steal something from me, and then hold up while I claw at him, trying to use him like a ladder. I also extremely dislike it when he uses me like a stool or table to prop up against – his bony elbow digging into my head!

He's more leg than he is anything else, so he's a fine athlete when he feels like it – mainly whenever I'm on the opposing team during any sport. When it's nothing athletic, however, it's more like hell. I can't count the number of times I've been pinned or held prisoner by his legs and arms, or how many times I've been tripped onto a couch by him.

I'm endlessly embarrassed by him, people have cooed at how sweet we are hugging in public (my head reaches only his chest, how in the heck is that cute?), and whenever I'm sitting he can make it look like we're doing something obscene with hardly any effort – a-ahem. You catch my drift?

Then again, being short has its advantages.

It's easy to tackle him when he least expects it, I could trip him just by crawling on the floor behind him and waiting for him to move sideways, and I have more room on our bed than he does (but he hardly sleeps anyhow).

I have a reason to make fun of him whenever he tries to drive a car ("You look like a frog over there!"), and I can avoid being hit in dodge ball very easily – he's one of the first people out!

He whines a lot whenever I start "teasing" him, which I don't see how I do it. Do short people have bigger hips or something? I wish he'd stop giving me that look whenever I bend over to pick something up! The only teasing I ever do on purpose is running my hands down his torso until I'm almost to his private area, and then I just take my hand away and ignore him. (Hey, he can't do that to me unless he's sitting!)

But this is still kind of an awkward relationship.

I've had to borrow his clothes before, and I ended up ruining a good pair of his overalls due to their length. His shirts are great for sleeping in during winter, and who doesn't like getting drunk and forcing your jeans onto your too tall boyfriend? Guess what, he's got high waters!

It's fun to make him squat down a little in public, just so he can kiss me before we leave to go home or something, but I'm terrified when he picks me up to do the same (he could drop me and I'd die!).

We've carried each other bridal style before, it looks so sweet with him carrying my around, but when it's switched I look like I'm a Chihuahua with a German Sheppard sized dog bone in its mouth.

I wish I was a little bit taller, but then again, I've never seen Waluigi bow down to someone five feet, three inches.
