[The problem with being reduced to around age six, Huo concluded, was not that it made one's legs so much shorter so that getting to the candy store took twice as long as it should have. No; the problem was that it really did not agree with one's emotional filtering, even if one was normally very good with that kind of thing.
Consequently, it was a rather harried and confused little boy who entered the candy shop that noon, and promptly stopped when he realized that he wasn't tall enough to reach the top of the counter.]
