3. After about five more minu&s of apswering questions, he retumed to his

mother. My life as a little person is fiIled with stories like thirt. I enjoy talking to
children and orptaining why I look different from theil parents. It has taken many
years of rtevelopiog -y corfid*"" to be able to do that. It takes only one glance to

having very short limbs. My eight-year-old so4 Jimmy, is average height, as-is my
nusUai4 tieorge. Like most achon&oplasia dwarfs, I have two average-height
pamrts, as wetl as an aveiage-height biother. When I was bom, my mother was told

l0 I have a wonderfrrl, Ioving husband and a happy, healthy son. But even wifh
all the support, I'm still occasionally afraid. Last year I met a short-statured mothr -
with an average-height teenage son. He had run away ft,om home because he couldn't
take the teasing he endured at school. I began to worry the same thing might happen
to Jimmy. 50

l1 A few rnpntlts later, a little girl in Jimmy's class began relemtlessly teasing
him about having a short mum. She finally asked, "Why is she so short?" Without
pausing, he replied, "Becarse God made her that way. She doesn't have to rear'h over
to pick up the laundry like yow mum does"'
