Both of Gary Trudeau and David Sedaris used humor to describe some unusual experience about their childhood. I would prefer My Inner Shrimp. It is more vivid and I can feel the author’s emotion as lf I have experienced it.
The main idea of My Inner Shrimp is about a teenager who is so short that he was treated unfairly and the process of overcoming the dilemma. When he went hunting for a new office, he found a low room. Then he talked with them about the room. He wrote” She abruptly turned away, but it was too late. She’d just confirmed that a major New York developer, working with a fully licensed architect, had knowingly created an entire twelve-story apartment building virtually uninhabitable by anyone of even average height. It was an exclusive high rise for shorties.”(Page 2) He used humorous and ironical way to write about the people who work in sales office. After this, we can know his humor in “When I was fourteen, I was the third-smallest in a high school class of one hundred boys, routinely mistaken for a sixth grader.”
Finally, he miraculously shot up six inches, but he wanted to return to the high school to surprise his classmates.

Your essay is similar as "My Inner Shrimp"---using not so many words to express meaningful things. And after read yours, I had a clear routine about what Gary's essay is.
