Last weekend at a neighborhood block party, I found myself standing in the middle of a group of 3-6-year-olds when one remarked “You are tall!” Standing next to a bunch of elementary and pre-school aged kids, I was the tallest person. This little boy’s statement was perfectly accurate.
But as soon as I went back to the adults area, I was no longer tall. I was completely average at my height of 5 foot 9 inches. The little boy’s statement was no longer accurate: I was not tall.
