Remember when numbers categorized you?
Height and weight are still requirements on job applications. They don’t check your teeth or look at your feet.
If you are tall, you may be announced like a basketball player.
If you are heavy, you may be announced like a wrestler.
If you are short, you don’t want to be identified by your height.
If you are a woman, you don’t want to state your weight.
There was a time when women were measured by bust – waist – hips.
Clothing was selected to accentuate the best number.
Boys would give catcalls as girls’ sashay by.
Barbie dolls were designed on numbers for little girls to emulate.
As we grow older, the numbers change.
