Not sure why code isn’t working

With my code, i’m just getting the bummer error.

Help!

strlen.py 
my_string = []

def just_right(my_string):
    if len(my_string) < 5:
        print("Your string is too short.")
    elif len(my_string) > 5:
        print("Your string is too long.")
    else:
        return True

The challenge asks you to return those strings, not print them!
