Today, I discovered that I'm short enough to be legally considered a midget. My daughter now wants to bring me to school for show and tell. FML

Today, after having recently told my 4-year-old daughter that she won't grow big and tall if she doesn't eat her veggies, she decided to pass this wisdom on to a midget that we passed in the store. FML

Today, my friends and I go to a bar and get wasted. I walk around and see a kid. I start yelling, "There's a child in this bar! There's a CHILD in this BAR!" She turns around. She was a midget. FML

Today, I got my long hair cut in a short pixie cut. When my five year old daughter saw me she laughed and proclaimed 'You look just like a man!'. That afternoon I got a concerned call from the school. My daughter has told everyone 'mummy has gone away, I now have two daddies!' FML

Today, I realized that while I've been the same minuscule height for the past five years, my feet won't stop growing. I'm 5 foot and a size 12. I look like a clown. FML

Today, a 6th grader came up to me and told me I have the smallest breasts in the class. I'm their teacher. FML

Today, I'm a 5ft2 guy and I was at the seamstress's getting some dressy pants shortened for a wedding this week. She got it to the right length, then told me, "Don't worry, you're still growing." My dad started laughing, and she stared at me as I told her that I'm 25. FML

Today, in class I was teaching 6 year olds about the difference between short and tall, and I asked them how they could see that I was shorter than the other teacher. One of them raised their hand and said it was because I'm fatter. FML

Today, I went to the store with my 4-year-old daughter. While I was trying to change into tight jeans, which weren't completely on, my daughter opened the curtain and yelled, "It's the Mommy Show!" Everyone there heard her and saw me. FML

That's a little insensitive of your daughter. You'll feel better shortly, though there's a small chance I'm wrong.

I'm on the other side of the spectrum at 6'1, and I think it'd probably be nice to be a bit smaller as a woman... I guess no one's ever happy with their height haha

at least she thinks it's cool and isn't embarrassed by you.

She's 4 years old. I moderated this one. Haha. The original one said "my four year old daughter". I don't know why they took that part out. It cuts down on confusion. I wouldn't say she thinks it's cool. She's just too young to understand that it's rude to say things like that. Hahaha.

I don't see how this is a bad thing. I'm 5"6 (14 years young) and people are always mentioning how tall I am. I'd highly prefer being short, I find it much more feminine.
