Coffees should come in small. So should t-shirts

Dear Retail Establishment,

I have disposable income and a predilection for shiny things. You continually bombard me with catalogs containing witty t-shirts and sweatshirts that I would love to own and wear. However, the fact that you only recognize sizes that begin with medium means that I can't wear your products.

And my sister, who would absolutely adore the "What Would Nancy Drew Do?" sweatshirt CompanyName shows on page 38, is even tinier than I am.

It's not just one catalog, it's all of them, from Wireless and Signals to the Geek catalogs. I understand that the average American is larger than they were 20 years ago, but some of us still need a size small.

Not Love, Patricia

OK, so how come I look so short standing next to you? 'Cos I'm almost 5'4". I mean, menopause, osteopenia, etc., but I haven't shrunk that much.

You must have an aura of tallishness.
