she’s so small she can’t smell anything bc smell molecules are too big to fit into her nose. she can’t see bc light is too big to get into her eye. she can’t hear sound is too big for her little tiny ears. when she was born her mom didn’t even notice. she went to an ant carnival and she was not tall enough to ride any rides. and yet she is so brave. being held like a fresh honeycrisp apple
