It’s one thing to mistake me for a child, and it’s another to make a point of telling me.
Some of them even ask for my height, which I think is as rude as asking someone their weight. I don’t know how to reply.I agree that your colleagues should not behave like schoolchildren. It is not appropriate to comment on people’s bodies. However, your views are immaterial when it comes to tolerating a reaction brought on by a condition you cannot change.When someone outright asks your height, the quickest way out is to simply tell them, without starting a conversation.
When they came back to school after the summer, they always commented on how “short I had become.” It was a reason to joke, and I enjoyed it.Your willingness to be a good-humored human yardstick for your students tells me you were in the right profession.A few months ago, I started talking to a woman I met through a mutual friend of ours. I’m 24 and she’s 22.The only thing is that she’s 6 feet tall and I’m 5-foot-8. This isn’t an issue for me, but it concerns her.

[August 2012]I’m a 5-foot-9-inch woman, and it amazes me to hear how many people have a thing about height: The guy always has to be taller.
I’ve had my fill over the years of men who didn’t want me to wear heels, wanted me to hunch a bit while walking, etc., and for every insecure short man, there seem to be three women who are just as stubborn. My husband is 5 feet 5 inches tall, and I couldn’t love him more. It takes a confident, secure man to proudly hold a taller woman on his arm. He might be short, but he has a huge heart.Legendary chef Julia Child was 6-foot-2. Her devoted husband, Paul, was a more average height, 5-foot-9. I have heard from many such “mismatched” couples who report that they are perfectly happy. [September 2012]

Ask Amy: ‘Best of’ column looks at political differencesDear Amy: The community I live in has many people who are so rabid and strident in their political positions that they can’t seem to shut up about it at a lunch or dinner party.I feel strongly about issues that are important to me, too, but I do not enjoy listening to people ranting.I recently had lunch with friends, and one woman, “Barbara,” launched into politics (as usual). When I pointed out that “friends who don’t talk politics stay friends,” Barbara laughed it off and continued her diatribe. At this point, I don’t think she can help herself.
