Height Comes Before a Fall

Of course all this is purely theoretical, but IF you suffer from a mild form of dyspraxia during, say, PMT, that causes you drop, fall over or bump into any object within a 5 metre radius, and IF you have to run a workshop for some mildly disinterested secondary school students during said phase of PMT, and IF you have an inferiority complex relating to being shorter than people who are not yet through puberty, and IF said inferiority complex leads you to don a pair of rather splendid heels so the charming 14 year olds won't tower over you MAKE SURE YOU DON'T TRY AND WALK UP STAIRS IN FRONT OF THEM CARRYING LOADS OF STUFF.  I can't stress this strongly enough.  Because obviously, theoretically, you will fall over, and then you won't need to worry about them not respecting you because they're all at least a foot taller than you.  Oh no.  You'll have made yourself look like a tit without them even having to THINK about your diminutive stature.  And you'll twist your ankle.  You idiot.

Lesson learned. You are too, too noble to suffer so that the rest of us might benefit from your painfully earned wisdom...
