While I am comfortable talking about my condition with strangers who ask questions, it doesn't mean I enjoy it exactly. I often feel like there is a lot of pressure on us LPs to do the work when really, any AP can use Google and learn about dwarfism too.

Silly-sarcastic-answers help us cope and it's not that difficult to come up with something more original than "what happened?!"

You have such a positive attitude...OMG, I LOVE YOU! You have such a positive attitude! I too am a little person, and I have such a sense of humor that when people ask me bout myself I usually reply with the vegetable joke.<br /> I also love it when little kids are fascinated by me, usually when they point me out to their parents I quickly say hi to assure them that it's okay. One time this little girl got her hand slapped for pointing to me, I told the mother it was okay, and the mother told me "No it's not okay!" <br />So I went up to the little girl who was rubbing her hand almost getting ready to cry, and I took her hand and started rubbing it while telling her it was okay and she started to smile so kissed her hand then looked at her mother, who was also smiling and told her, See, it is okay. <br /> Later I asked my mother how do I explain to parents that it's okay when their kids point me out to them, and my mother told me to tell them that their child is just fascinated by me and just wanted to share what they see. leroykevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790857917376541357noreply@blogger.com
