Boy do I get this! I made it to 5 feet but I know exactly what you mean. And grocery shopping! Forget anything on the top shelf of the dairy case or even the shelves. And just try to get a magazine off the top shelf at the book store. Although I consider myself lucky. Both my sisters, my mom and my niece are all, like you, a couple inches shy of 5 feet. You have my sympathy.
