The incredible shrinking grandma

Gram: I went and got my bone density checked this week. I shrunk more.

Me: What?! How tall are you now?

Gram: 4'6"!

I burst into laughter.

Gram (also laughing, but trying not to) It's not funny!

Me: Oh yes it is.

Gram swears at me in Italian.

Me: So are you like, officially a Little Person now?

Gram: Jess!

Me: I'll look it up. I bet you are.

According to Little People of America, dwarves are 4'10" and under. While the incredible shrinking grandma hasn't always fallen within the parameters, she's got quite a few years under her belt. I'm totally buying her something from the store for her birthday this year. Cousin Desiree, you in?
