Just above the calf

All my life I have had to alter cars, counters, and clothes. I picked up a graduation robe today and was informed that I would once again have to alter it because it doesn't fit. My life has been filled with things that haven't fit; ex-husbands, annoying fish, and a society that is bigger than I am. But I have managed to fit in.. Its just sometimes I wish there wasn't a 'just above the calf'.
