Shorty!

As I was waiting in a check out line I could both sense and see in my peripheral vision a big person walking up behind me. Next thing I know, I hear the guy say: "what's up, shorty?" I just started cracking up and it took me a minute to reply in any coherent way. Finally, I said: "not too many people can call me that." We both grinned a tall person's grin. He was 6'5" and sturdy looking...like the marlborough man!! I felt small and dainty next to him which is something I don't often feel in this body!
