A Tall Tale

1
Katie stormed through the front door after school, her face burning hot with tears. Her grandmother was at the kitchen table, working on a crossword puzzle. She looked up in surprise.

2
“Why, Katie! What's wrong, sweetheart?” Katie's grandmother asked. She sat Katie down at the table and gave her a cool towel to wipe her face. She waited for Katie to take a few deep, shuddering breaths.

3
“The kids at school,” Katie finally said, her voice quavering. “They make fun of me all the time, Grandma, just because I'm so tall! They call me... They call me,” Katie stammered, trying to fight back the tears. “I wore an orange shirt today and they called me the Jolly Orange Giant!” Katie burst into tears. Her grandmother kept back a little smile and gave her granddaughter a hug.

4
“Did you know that when your mom was a kid, the other kids made fun of her for being tall, too?” she asked. Katie shook her head. “Do you know who else they made fun of?” Katie shook her head again. “Me!” Katie looked up in surprise. Grandma nodded at her.

5
“All the women in our family are very tall,” Katie's grandmother explained. “It's a gift! I know it's no fun to be so tall right now, but it'll get better, sweetie. Besides,” she gave Katie a loving pinch and a wink, “not every little girl gets to have the star of the Women's National Basketball Association® as her mother!”
