being small

I think I realized I was a small girl on class picture day in the 4th grade, when I was stuck on the end of the first row for the fourth year in a row. The tall people were in the back, the short people were in the front, and from there, the shortest of the short were on the ends. I was on the left end. Since then, I've always been the smallest girl in class. In junior high and high school, every time we had to squeeze a bunch of people in the car, someone would say:


 
I would also get, "What are you, size zero?" Actually, I am size 1-4 (14 in girls), depending on where I get clothes, which is always a pain. I know I'll never be able to find clothes in fashion magazines in my size. I fit into pants from the Limited Too, not Banana Republic or Calvin Klein. I've always looked really young for my age, so I also have to think twice about dressing fun and girly, because then I look like I'm 12 when I'm actually 23.
