I was thinking about the best compliment I've ever gotten. Here it is:

A little history first. I come from a family of very tall people. For example, my sister is 5'9'' and brother is 6'1''. I on the other hand am a teeney weeney 5'3''.

Okay then, so I was visiting family a while back. There I was sitting with my cousins, having a nice chat. Somehow we started talking about how all the kids in the family got to be so tall. Among the people having this discussion were two boy cousins of mine (6' and 6'1'') and one girl (5'11''). And then there was petite little me. So I made a joke about myself (I am not at all insecure about my height, I love it really, and so I can joke about it). But one of my cousins turns to me and says, you may be shorter than all of us but you're the tallest when it comes to character...
Aww... I was left speechless. They actually think that way about me? It's so sweet. I get all misty every time I think of the incident.

There it is, the best compliment I have gotten (yet). At least that's the one I can remember. There was also another really nice one, but I'll write that some other day if I have the time and inclination...
