...when TEPINTZIN-SIZED PENGUINS roamed the earth!

When I was 5, my grade 1 teacher pulled me in front of the class to show them how big an Emperor penguin is. I am fated to be compared to these flightless birds for all my days, it seems.

Hee - I think that's adorkable. And you have muscular arms, too.

But ::sniffs:: I was measured during my field trip day with the big machines on Friday and I've shrunk another 2 inches (a total of 4 since my teenage years). So, I'm the same height as the penguins, too.

Unadorkable-feeling hugs,

Fortunately, after moving back to the Excited States I grew two inches due to all the chemicals they put in food here. So I'm *up* to the size of one of these penguins.

How come all the cool species die out?
