- You’ve had to get size 00 pants altered down so they don’t give you the appearance of a mom butt.
- You’ve asked the sales associate at The Children’s Place if they carry blazers.
- You’ve also been embarrassed by the sales associate at The Children’s Place when she asks how old your daughter is. Nope, just buying a tiny cardigan for myself, thanks.
- You have sadly learned that XS means something different at every store.
- As do sizes 00, 0, 1, and 2.
- You have never been able to order anything online and you will never be able to order anything online. Deal with it.
- Even Victoria’s Secret doesn’t carry a 30” band. Congratulations, your boobs will look awkward forever.
- If you ever complain about being too tiny, be prepared for every woman on the planet to viciously hate your guts for all of eternity.
- You dread size inflation because that means you can no longer shop at half of the stores that you used to.
- You get a little emotional every time you buy clothing from an adult store because you’re used to buying children’s clothes at a third of the price.
- You’ve gotten judgmental and strange looks when you’ve ordered off the children’s menu at a restaurant.
- You get even more concerned comments from the waiter asking if your food was okay because you asked for a to-go box.
- You can never pull off a hair bow because once you put one in your hair, you will literally resemble a toddler.
- You get called names like “little one” and “nugget” on a regular basis. These can be cute coming from your boyfriend. From random strangers…not so much.
- You probably have a step stool handy for reaching things on the top shelf.
- …and, let’s be honest, the middle shelf too.
- Heaven forbid you get freckles in the summer. More people than you could possibly imagine will look at you and say “awwwww!”
- You’re great at saving money on clothes. Apart from style changes, you haven’t truly needed a new wardrobe in around ten years. Your clothes from middle school still fit perfectly.
- Your three-inch heels don’t make you tall. They just make you almost average.
- You hear “you’re cute” about one hundred times more often than “you’re sexy.”
- You get complaints and side-eye from taller girls every time you date a tall guy. The phrase, “save them for us!” is angrily thrown around.
- But you love feeling tiny next to a guy with enormous muscles, so you really don’t care.
- Actually, you love feeling tiny in general. Sure, you could have been born 5’5″ but who wants to be normal anyway?
