So a few of my dear, sweet sisters have recently decided that their littlest sister [by only a inconsequential difference, I say] deserves to be reminded of her short stature. Constantly.
Who's the littlest sister? Oh, that's right. Me.
Out of all my "siblings," I am the shortest. Not by much, probably only two or three inches from the next shortest person, but still enough to earn me the title. I stand at 5 feet, 3.5 inches, a height that anyone in my family tree would be proud to have [ha!] yet still puts me below average.
My sisters love to rub this in. "Oh, she's little, she can sit in the back where there's no leg room" [I recently corrected this assumption, and we're on a taking-turns basis now]. "She's smallest, she can go get the things on the bottom shelf." "You're the smallest, you can wear this little dress."
Grr. I am NOT short!
Dresses, I'll admit, are a problem. Long ones are too, well, long--they drag on the ground unless I get them altered. Tea-length dresses can all too often look like floods. And short dresses make me look like a pixie.
Yes. Pixie. No joke. Maddy and I went shopping forever ago, I tried on a short green dress, and the nickname was born. I looked like a gosh-darn pixie.
That's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to short jokes, though--I've heard far worse. Fairy. Elf. Nymph [not nympho, you idiots]. Imp.
I just have to keep reminding myself that I really and truly do love my sisters. I love my sisters. I love my sisters. I love my sisters. Especially Tia--she doesn't think I'm short. Shorter, but not short.
Sigh... This is ridiculous. Can't I just have one more inch?
