Gees, I get so mad some times!! The guys at work are always making fun out of me cause of my size and it's just not fair!! My cousins tell me to take no notice and one day when I've grown I'll show them who's small (at least that's what one of my cousins says. The other keeps telling me to shut up and stop whining)

But Uncle Mick, I don't wanna wait until I've finished growing; I wanna get back at them now! By golly, when they nick my pocket money I get so mad at them but cause I'm so much smaller I can't do nothing! And all the "little guy" jokes just aren't funny!!

Uncle Mick, what can I do??

Dear Elroy,

Wow, now here's a challenge for me to solve! Now Elroy, you really do need to rise above the comments made and to be the bigger man about it all. Get it? Bigger man!!

Nahh, only kidding Elroy! Seriously though, don't let them get to you. I mean, look at the advantages of being small; you never have to pay the full entrance fee, it's less far to fall when you're tripped up and you're always the last one to get wet when it's raining!! Sounds like a good deal to me!

But if you feel that your height really is a problem, why don't you just do what women do and wear a pair of high-heeled shoes?? I've been told that they do wonders at making your legs look slimmer. Why not try it and see if people are as ready to pick on you as they were before?

Have A Nice Day!

Uncle Mick J
