Don't call me "pixie"

"petite"'s what I prefer.

I'm not your little "pixie"

if that's what you infer.

Don't call me "cute".

I don't like that, either.

Little girls are called that.

"Cute", "pixie", I prefer neither.

Don't call me short, above all.

That was never my favorite word.

That I heard from kids in school.

No, "'petite", to me, is the term most preferred.
