Genuinely baffling to me that in all of the discussions I've seen about Anakin and Ahsoka's first meeting and what his line about her being "a little young to be a padawan" and her reaction means for the worldbuilding that no one seems to have considered the possibility that he was just. Being kind of a dick.

He does not want her there. She is small and he finds her annoying and he didn't ask for a padawan anyway. And like. Sometimes people just look at children smaller than them who are being annoying and go "what are you ten?" to a teenager.

And Anakin became a padawan at nine so his perspective is definitely skewed because when he was a padawan all of the other padawans were bigger and older than him. Now, he's twenty and she looks tiny and his response is "no way was I that little she must be younger than I was" and to needle her about it.
