Teeny tiny teen

It's amazing how some people really cannot resist interrupting me mid-sentence with:

"You're so small!"

Many of them think it's okay because they are nice girls who say it in an "aww" voice, as if I'm a puppy who's been waiting all day just to get the pat on the head. This statement sounds very bitter, but really, it's not, I just am amazed because people don't seem to bring up other physical attributes like that. If I brought up, in the middle of a conversation with you that "You're so fat!" or "Your nose is so Roman!" or "Damn, you've got great hips for childbearing!" or, if you don't think those statements are equitable, "You're so big!" wouldn't you be rather bewildered, as well?

i hear the word "cute" a lot, which should be flattering, but it's like that puppy thing... i'm an 18 yr old human, not a little fluffball waiting to play fetch. anyways, i relate leeann.
