My extremities are mocking me.

So apparently, I have giant, freakishly large hands that everyone in Chem wanted to see. This whole thing is news to me. For a while now, my hands have been at the usual 8 inches from outstretched thumb to pinkie. And I’ve been wearing the same size 11 shoes for two years now.

As I struggled to review molecular bonding they berated me with questions as they pried my hands from the review book in order to see their purported tremendous size. For example, they asked me if I could palm a basketball. While, for a moment, I pondered the utility of concealing a basketball in my hand like a magician, further explanation clarified the term. Holding a basketball in one hand? I have enough trouble holding the thing in two hands. Ignoring this, they theorized that I would grow to become the next Yao Ming.

Will I? Considering my genetics, I consider the disproportionate limbs to be more a cruel joke than anything.

    poppycock, My arms are disproportionate to the rest of my body. (Marching uniforms never quite fit me) & I’m proud. I can reach lots of stuff. Like cookies on a high shelf. Ha who’s laughing now, muhahahahahaha!

    besides, that picture on page 99 of the honors physics book is a picture of you from the future.
    go ahead. Find it and check it.
