The shorter set

Imagine being less than thirty inches tall and so chocked full of energy and love and happiness that you are literally bouncing with joy!

The world becomes a dangerous place.  A place where tables leap up to smack you in the chin just when you least expect it and anything with a straw is so tall you have to sit it on your lap if you even hope to reach it with your mouth!

You can never let your guard down because those straws snuffle up ice cold smoothies faster than you can blink an eye and surprise you in a million different ways.

Cups and glasses weigh a ton when filled up and sneaky little drops of condensation make them as slippery as eels.

If you cry people want to pick you up and snuggle you even if what you need is for someone to smack that table back!

If you sing people smile and nod -- for a while.  Then you get the feeling they are really trying to shush you up!

Life is complicated for the shorter set.
