[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe how small so many of these 10 year olds are.  It sounds unhealthy ;)

Wow, MYOB. I have one of those tiny 10 yo and her pediatrician said she was perfectly healthy. She comes from a family that is naturally slim and we are all late bloomers. I was just like this as a kid and am a normal healthy adult. And we eat a ton. [/quote]

Not even the winking emoji clued you into the sarcasm?[/quote]

Would you sarcastically make comments about people being overweight? Probably not. Underweight people are just as sensitive about such comments. Something to keep in mind. [/quote]

Earlier in the thread someone made exact such comments about 10 year olds being unhealthy because they’re too heavy. And it wasn’t sarcastic. PP was just turning it around. Yet you only found it offensive when it was about kids being too small. Wonder why. [/quote]

Actually no, I actually chimed in to say there was a huge range of kids that is normal at this age and that some kids have really dense muscle and bone. So no, I didn't only find it offensive when people picked on smaller kids. [/quote]
