We often get that Addison is a “baby” and he’s three and one-half!

Well, maybe it’s an innocent question. On the other hand, why is anyone’s business either way? Sort of like I ask myself why does someone’s sexual orientation matter? unless you’re trying to date them or fix them up.

Asking whether someone is a little person is, to me, another way of asking, “Why is she different? What’s wrong with her?” but then, I find people’s allegedly innocent questions annoying a lot, so maybe that’s just me.

A friend of ours, our accountant, who happens to be a dwarf/little person ( a PC word for midget) tells us he is very often mistaken for having DS! (And I can tell you, he doesn’t have ANY even sort of traits that could possibly be attributed to DS…not a one! He also doesn’t look like Kate Hudson.)

Go figure! People are kinda stupid donchaknow?
