Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 What are your funny stories about misconceptions people have about dwarfism? Bruce reminded me of one of my favorites (fortunately less serious than his). I started attending a church and the ladies' group at that church. A short time later, one of the older ladies, who was the unofficial head of the older ladies, followed me out to my car and said, " All right, Alyce, I want to see how you drive. " I opened the car door, showed her the extensions, and she said with great satisfaction, " I thought so! Virginia said you drove standing up, but I knew that wasn't true! " Alyce :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Excuse me for throwing in a little levity! Of course there are misconceptions about dwarfism that are not at all funny. But there are funny moments, too, and I for one will never miss out on a good laugh if I can help it.
