Come-back Kings and Queens Converge.....
My high-school freshman-to-be is saving his growth spurt for a special occasion, and as a result is still a smidge shy of footfootfootfootfoot. He is playing hockey and polo with the teams that he will join, and could use a repertoire of retorts for those dumb enough to comment that he's short.
We have: Yeah and you're ugly, but I'm gonna grow Yeah, but I'm only 6, imagine how good I'm gonna be when I'm 14.... as you can see we need help, so have at it......

I like the ugly one. It's simple, direct, and right on target. If you come up with something that's really clever, it makes it look like he's trying too hard. He needs to make it look like he doesn't care.

Nick was our best singer, and I said without thinking, "Why doesn't Nick do it?" He looked at me and said simply and directly, "Because I'm 16 stone, why do you think?" I hadn't actually meant to joke about his size, but I was crushed. As crushed as we'd have been if we hefted Nick up there  The best comeback is to treat teasing as if it's completely irrelevant. I never learned that trick myself, so I do like the other suggestions. Maybe he could tell them his parents have given him permission to cunt-punt them.

When I was a kid the advice for those of smaller stature (other than to ignore it which these days is key to pile it on harder) was to say "precious things come in small packages" (yeah, like poison  )

"You know who else was tall? Hitler."
It's not actually true, Hitler was on the short side. But I'd bet most teens don't know that. |
