MORE GRIPPING ADVENTURES IN SHORTNESS

I was talking about some of my thrift-store finds with my mom, and mentioned that I’d gotten a pair of capris and a pair of too-long jeans that I might cut capri length.

She advised me against capri length pants, on account of they might make my legs look short.

Look. I’m 5′2″. Short of strapping on stilts, there’s no way of making my legs look not short.

That’s just… how I am. Short an’ stumpy.

The length of my pants doesn’t affect that in any way.
