That whole adult thing
I'm pretty sure that I should not be the person small humans look to for inspiration.
Just Saying.

Wow, way to totally miss the point.
You're not an inspiration to any of us, because you don't actually show any interest in us or our doings. Don't flatter yourself that we'd give you that much recognition.

Ouch, kid. I'm gonna need some lotion for that burn.
You need to step back a bit, look a little closer. Work doesn't leave me a lot of time, but that doesn't mean I don't care, or I don't pay attention.
I think you're doing a great job with that school program you're doing. And I'm told you're doing great with your powers as well.
I'd have taken my rotation training you little hellions but I haven't exactly been in the country, yeah?

All that's totally fair. But don't call yourself an inspiration when you've barely been around us, okay?

If it makes you feel better, kid. I wasn't actually referring to the munchkins here. At least, not directly.
Like I said however, I may take a turn at trying to show you all some tricks, if things stay somewhat sane for the next month or two.

1) It's ableist as all fuck. It's a derogatory term previously used for little people, taken from
The Wizard of Oz
.
2) It's demeaning and cutesy and implies that people younger than you are small children.
3) I'm seventeen, goddamnit, not seven. 'Munchkin' is a term for babies and toddlers, not for teens, no matter how old you are.
