I’m having a conversation with this 14-year-old girl, and I ask her “do you have a little boyfriend?” She says to me “why do you have to say it like that?” And I said “say it like what?” She goes on to tell me “why do you have to use the word little? When I think of little think of small elves.” So I said to her “You are 14 years old, and therefore you are younger than me; also in terms of size you are smaller than me, therefore you are little in comparison to me. Ok, how should I ask?” She says “don’t specify a size.” So from now on I’ll do my best not to specify size. I learn something new everyday.
