Today, I found out that if I were 2 inches shorter, I would have to sit in a booster seat in the car. I'm about to turn 22. FML

Today, I got pulled over, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. FML

Today, I had to sit through yet another one of my mom's, "You need to grow and gain some weight!" rants. I'm 22 and she doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm done growing. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting past 5'2". FML

Today, after boarding my flight, the flight attendant looked at me and said that I had to sit elsewhere because I had to be over 14 to sit near the emergency exit. I'm 22. FML

Today, my parents insisted that despite the fact I've just turned sixteen, I have to save them money by ordering from the children's menu, because I "still look like a twelve year-old." FML

Today, my parents decided to go on a diet. This would be perfectly fine if they didn’t insist I go on one too. I weigh less than 90 pounds and am underweight for my height. FML

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

midget, dwarfs, little people.. whatever. so are we suppose to call blacks 'african americans' now? I was told that it was the 'correct' term by a teacher. the next time I said it someone snapped at me and said 'i'm not from africa'. forget you politically correct people!!!!!! I'm still saying midget. (and black) :]

I've seen little people on Discovery shows that are smaller and drive their own cars.

nice joke. there are age limits so they probably said it as a joke to you, or you decided to say it as a joke here.

Personally, I think the term little people is more offensive sounding.

Little people is more commonly applied to people who have dwarfism. Midget is a kind of rude term but correct as it means someone who is short but proportionate.
