Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Well since everyone is talking about the difference between D and M I thought I'd tell you what happened to me tonight. My daughter and I play in a handbell choir and we had practice today for our Christmas concert next week. As you know I've been reading a lot about dwarfism lately anticipating this for my 12yr.old son. Well, I asked this lady in our choir how tall she was because she's pretty small. She said very abruptly " My drivers license says I'm 4'10 but I'm really 4'9 and before you say anything else YES! I know I'm classified as a dwarf " . Now, typically this lady is very nice, laughs all the time and such but evidently I really offended her by asking that question. I never really thought of her being an LP until reading the things I've read lately. All I was going to say to her was that my son was being tested for one of over 200 types of dwarfism and wanted to know if her parents had ever been concerned about her size. I didn't get to do that. She did say later that she thinks that she does have some sort of dwarfism but she doesn't care. My son being short is not our concern either it's his health that we are concerned with. Guess I'll keep my mouth shut from now on. I just thought some of you might find this interesting. Blessings, Sherian --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new beta.
