Text conversation with my mom about my 12 year old nephew
- Mom: Jamison is taller than me
- Me: Hahahahaha
- Mom: Don't laugh if hes taller than me then he is really taller than you. :-)
- Me: He has been 4 awhile but everyone is so it doesnt bother me
Yes that’s right I am shorter than my mom.
At a whopping 5’1" I am the shortest person in my family. Okay so the 3 year old niece is still way shorter than me and the two 8 year old nieces are shorter but not by much. I know you are shocked because 5'1" is so very tall. How did I end up this short you may ask?
I blame my mother!!!!!
I am not going to go in to details but she knows what she did!*

* I love you mom!!!!
I don't think you are the shortest now. But I am also counting extended family.
ReplyDeleteIt is really funny seeing Jamison looking down to make eye contact with mom
ReplyDeleteI went to the doctor yesterday and was briefly excited when she said I was 64 inches. Then I looked at my shoes. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWhat shoes were you wearing?
ReplyDeleteBut do you sing and dance and dress like an Oompaloopma??
ReplyDeleteNo I dont look good in funky overalls
ReplyDeleteA local theater group is staging Willie Wonka this spring. You should come and tryout. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet that would require me to miss too much work
ReplyDeleteI sort of have the opposite problem. I grew up being taller than everyone else. Taller than other boys my age, taller than all of my friends (in fact my bestfriend in HS was only 4'10"). I couldn't ever borrow shoes or clothes the way my other friends did. I always wished I was short.
ReplyDeleteSometime in my adulthood I finally embraced my height, which is 5'8" well... okay I shrunk just a little after having my girls and I am now 5'7 and 3/4 inches. Yes, now I like my height. :)
I think I'm still taller than one of my nephews, but I'm sure he's gaining on me. It's just kinda startling when the "little ones" - seemingly overnight - are suddenly taller than you, isn't it? I mean, we're the adults, right?
ReplyDeleteI always remind myself that all those dudes in the NBA probably outgrew their family at an early age, too!
