Lauren's measured

Lauren stood helpless and bare as Vanessa approached with a measuring tape. She ran it from the ground to Lauren's head as the crowd hushed in anticipation. Vanessa measured, then made sure to take an inch off. Anything to exaggerate the flaws she knew embarrassed her sister.

"4 foot 10 inches!" Vanessa called out. Lauren almost called out. She was 4 foot 11 and a half inches (she always rounded up to 5 feet). She wasn't that short? Yet, in a rare situation, she found herself too shame, too humbled to speak. She stood naked, hands at her side. She couldn't cover, she couldn't hide any shame.

There was a hubbub from the crowd as they figured out who won.

"Alright, next let's get Lauren's measurements!" Vanessa waved the tape measure over her head, causing the crowd to laugh and cheer.
