Today, I discovered that I'm short enough to be legally considered a midget. My daughter now wants to bring me to school for show and tell. FML

Today, after having recently told my 4-year-old daughter that she won't grow big and tall if she doesn't eat her veggies, she decided to pass this wisdom on to a midget that we passed in the store. FML

Today, my friends and I go to a bar and get wasted. I walk around and see a kid. I start yelling, "There's a child in this bar! There's a CHILD in this BAR!" She turns around. She was a midget. FML

Today, I got my long hair cut in a short pixie cut. When my five year old daughter saw me she laughed and proclaimed 'You look just like a man!'. That afternoon I got a concerned call from the school. My daughter has told everyone 'mummy has gone away, I now have two daddies!' FML

Today, I realized that while I've been the same minuscule height for the past five years, my feet won't stop growing. I'm 5 foot and a size 12. I look like a clown. FML

Today, I'm a 5ft2 guy and I was at the seamstress's getting some dressy pants shortened for a wedding this week. She got it to the right length, then told me, "Don't worry, you're still growing." My dad started laughing, and she stared at me as I told her that I'm 25. FML

Today, in class I was teaching 6 year olds about the difference between short and tall, and I asked them how they could see that I was shorter than the other teacher. One of them raised their hand and said it was because I'm fatter. FML

Today, I went to the store with my 4-year-old daughter. While I was trying to change into tight jeans, which weren't completely on, my daughter opened the curtain and yelled, "It's the Mommy Show!" Everyone there heard her and saw me. FML

That's a little insensitive of your daughter. You'll feel better shortly, though there's a small chance I'm wrong.

that's what she said. Seriously though, there is nothing wrong with being short. You can walk through small doors, ride the kids rides, and when it comes to "play" time, no kneeling for you

There is a difference between midget and dwarf. You are legally considered a midget if you are 4'0" or shorter and a dwarf at 4'11" and shorter. However, the FML does not state how tall this person is. So you can't really say its a lie if you don't have all the facts. Nice try though.

and if you are going by her username, that's not a solid fact either. I could make my username QueenofFrance if I wanted.

Me too! :D I'm one of the shortest people in my year lol but it doesn't bother me at the slightest! OP this is just something you have to live with, if it bothers you that much then just wear some heels to add on that extra height but there's nothing wrong with being 4"9

just saying small girls are fun too! how tall you are isn't a huge attraction some guys have preferences but other than that it's no biggy! small is nice

I'm just saying that bring small is nice! for some guys it's a huge attractive quality! I like small 5-5"3 usually. but really height isn't a huge deal!

Sorry about my previous comment. I accidentally hit 'send' prematurely. But 62: We know you're 13! You've already mentioned it under 6's comment! Why do you repeat yourself so much? This is the second FML, that I've seen, that you've said the same thing twice.

The first thing you should know is that the word midget is like the word ******. Only use it if you are one. Since you are... you're free to drop the M bomb.
