You dirty, dirty reader. You thought I was talking about size weren't you? This is a family blog here people. I can't say things like that. Besides, I'm not that kind of girl. But really, size does matter, so whoever says differently is a big fat liar. Let me show you why.
Have you ever tried to squeeze into a size 2 skirt when you're a size eight? Size matters. Tried to wear a size nine pump when you typically slide into a six and a half? Size matters. How about putting a size three diaper on a newborn? Size matters. Size really matters if you put a 9 month old in a size 1 diaper. I promise you that. Ever slept six people in a two man tent? Size matters. Driven a boosted up truck under a clearance for only six feet? Size matters. Ask any woman if she'd rather birth a baby with a grapefruit sized head or one with a large watermelon melon. Size seriously matters. And though I've never heard a clown complain I'm sure even they would appreciate a larger vehicle if they have to squeeze 9 of them into a compact car.
And so I don't sound like I'm making this all up I'll use two very famous examples to prove my point.
Case and point one. Alice. Big or small she was a little too much of either. She was too big to get through the itty bitty little door or too tiny tiny and gets swept away by her own flood of tears. When she takes the time to complain to the caterpillar about this he freaks out. She thinks her current size is rather small where as he, who is exactly the same size feels it is a very good size indeed. Perhaps if he had known the trouble her size had gotten her in when an attempt was being made at fumigating her out of a house he may have been more sympathetic.
Then there is the case of the glass slipper. Remember how one evil step sister forced it onto her foot that was big enough to qualify her for officially having the feet of a man? It's buglingness flipped it stright out into the unknown universe as it came back down it almost smashed into a million pieces. To this day I am shocked that placing all five toes of hers in it didn't shatter it.
So. Do you agree? Size matters.

5 people admitting they stalk me:
The post that I wrote for my blog for tomorrow is that size does not matter. In this case, I was talking about men, but not in the way you insinuated in the beginning of this post. How we perceive size is important. Are taller men naturally perceived as stronger and better than the shorter man? Are tall women also perceived as being better; and is that why we are stuck with the torture chamber better known as the "high heel"?
Laura, though it appears your name should be linked to a blog it isn't. I'd love to know where to find you so I can read your take on size.
Size really does matter. I'm one of the few women who doesn't look forward to buying shoes because I wear a size 12. Not too many cute shoes in that size..........:(
Oh, I must agree size matters. For someone who could barely squeeze into a size 16 dress in January, and is now squeezing into size 10 now let me tell you size does matter. Overall I have lost four inches from my bust, to my thighs, to my waist, to butt. You try running in a support system that is two cups too big and four inches too wide.
Hmmm... Is it just me or have you been watching little girl movies? :D
