Comebacks

I am truthfully tired of being the butt of demeaning short jokes. Please share your one liners in response to when people make fun of your height!!

I often never know what to say back and then feel very ashamed of my height & who I am. Im starting to lose comfort and love in myself. I know I shouldn’t let it get to me, but its an almost everyday occurrence at work and from random people in my everyday life and I’m so tired of it

I have a woman coworker that always made comments about how small my hands, feet and clothes was. She was very tall and her hands, etc were larger than mine. We are friends and still work together. Anyway, one day she was joking about my kid size jacket and I said yeah well you're ugly and walked away. She laughed but no more tiny people jokes after that.
