Have you ever been to Mount Vernon? Did you look at George Washington's bed and think, "Man, people were much shorter back in the day."? I know I did. I marveled at how much people have changed over the years. I mean, like in 1800 people were what...four feet tall? Now, we have people like Jordan in the world. He's well over six feet tall.
However, not everyone in the world has evolved as fast as good ol' America. For example, I would probably be considered average height in America. In El Salvador, I am considered a giant. Seriously...I have to duck to get through some doorways. I am at least a head taller than just about everyone in this country. I can't wait until I have to buy pants. And shoes. Joys to look forward to!
Anyway, the topic of this particular rant brings us back to my original statement. Short people have short beds. I guess it makes sense. Why waste materials (and precious floor space) on long beds. Short people don't need long beds. However, a tall person finds a short bed a bit uncomfortable. My feet hang off the end. The fitted sheet (ha! fitted!) is like wrinkly, elephant skin. When I fold the top sheet over, it doubles almost halfway down the bed. The best part of sleeping is when Hugo leaves for work and I can lay diagonally across the bed!

Tom and Barb Pronk slept in a very small, short bed for 25 years. It was one her short, Italian grandma gave her when Barb was young. I'm pretty sure Tom didn't wait until Barb got out of bed to sleep diagonally. Go for it!!
