[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for some perspective, DH is 5'3" and life is not too terrible.  He married a short woman (5') and is a successful professional with two awesome kids and is financially comfortable.

Just to throw out there that being short is jot the end of the world as some are implying.[/quote]

I don't think the OP was implying that being short is the end of the world.

She is 6-1.  Her husband is 6-5.  It's perfectly reasonable for her to wonder why her son is well below the 50th percentile for his age.  Short people are amazing and have great lives, but two people of that height are very unlikely to produce one of these wonderful people.[/quote]

But that's not what she said.  She described her perfectly averaged size kid as "tiny".  (Which, in my mind, is even smaller than small)  
If she had asked about experiences with a child significantly smaller than his parents, or a child who had falled sharply off the growth curve, she would have gotten useful responses.  [/quote]

Please.  She's speaking from her own perspective.  For her and her family, the kid is tiny.  Yes, I agree it's possibly not the best choice of words, but I can see why she used the word.  [/quote]
