I am 5' 2"ish tall and I have been made fun of alot for my height. (it's not like it's my fault, I didn't ask to be this short) Anyway, having red hair plus being short (I have Irish in my blood), gets lots of jokes because everybody is apparently a comedian. I have been called a leprachuan. I have been asked if I liked strawberry 'short' cake . Ive had people pretend they couldn't see me, lol, if i was a cruel person it would have made for a good sucker punch in the stomach. Anyways, I am trying to make up some rebuttals to these jokes so I need to know all the 'short' jokes out there...Thanks for your time!

oh, I don't want to make fun of them back. Some of these jokes are repetitive and annoying but I think they are amusing sometimes as well. I just want something witty to reply with that says that i can take the jokes. Like for example the one where people can't seem to see me, I would reply with, I am right under your nose silly. Hah (lame? I know it's a work in progress)

Tell them you know a good opthalmist you can recommend, if they cant see you.
Tell them the most beautiful things come in small packages, A diomond for example.
Tell them also being short has plenty of advantages, and it requires less of soap n even less scrubbing when u have a bath, LOL, you need less of clothes, and you are a challenge to fashion designers, Chide them.
And red hair is a rarity which requires a certain intelligent gene that most people dont have.
and ask why lies are also called Tall claims,

boy these guys just don't get it do they? I am 5 ft tall , and I know where for you are speaking from.
I guess I have been called a midget, a short shrimp, a little one, until I could have screamed. when my husband and I were about to be married, I was 19 and he was 24, his grandmother cautioned him about very young girls being immature wives! ha, was she shocked when she found out how old i really was.
Anyway, when they called me shorty or midge, I always looked up at them and asked if the birds ever flew into their faces, or did they get nose bleeds up that high.
If they were insistent about it and grew annoying, I would tell them that dynamite comes in small packages,and when it blows up, the big packages fall hard. they usually backed off.
I also had one about being the jolly green giants relatives, but can;t really remember all of it.
just tell them you are not short, you are vertically challenged and therefore qualify for free life support from the government and never have to work a day in your life. see if they like that one! hehe

Aww, being short isn't all that bad! I'm 6', which is rather tall for a girl, and I always got "jokes" thrown my way as well. You know, like "how's the weather up there" or people cupping their hands around their mouth and kinda looking up at me and talking loudly as though I wouldn't be able to hear them if they didn't.
Just ignore it. People lay off when you get older, and if they don't you'e hanging out with the wrong type of people. Don't sink to their level and do it back.

Don't sweat it, no matter what you look like or what your name is someone will find a way to make fun of you. it's always something. Just be nice to everyone, in the end you will show them. As long as your legs are long enough to reach the ground then you are ok... Really don't let stupid people bother you. good luck

consider some kind of variation of...
'a person should be tall enough so his feet reach the ground'
i think Abe Lincoln said that...
you could say.. 'well at least my feet still can reach the ground',
etc.
another?
'i would have been taller but I'm scared of heights!'
and
'good things come in small packages'

Don't be depress by those childish jokes. Just take it easy and tell yourself that it is not your fault and you are just you are. You have you own personalities and characters. Just ignore those
silly jokes.
