I'm a size 0

On the last day of trucking school, we all got company T-shirts.

They went around the room and asked everyone for their shirt size.

4, no 5

Everyone tossed out a number of X's.

XXL, XL, …

The instructor didn't miss a beat calling out names and marking responses.

Until he got to me.

Large, I said.

He paused.

He looked up at me.

He seemed confused.

And eventually marked his paper and moved on.

I was the only Large in the room.

No X's.

I wear a size 0.
