We've started my daughter on spelling to help with her spelling and writing skills. The funny thing is that right now her little brother is better at spelling than she is.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

and I keep reminding him you can't tell
Sure you can. There's a standard measure. I think you double their height at age two or something, to get their estimated adult height.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Susan's point is ... you can't tell.
You can estimate, but you can't tell.

I remember doing this for my cousin when he was two and he was only supposed to be about 5'6". Which made sense because his dad and his mom's family were fairly short-statured. But he's 21 now and like 5'10.

It might be 2 and a half.
Also, I know doctors can project out fairly accurately by measuring the thigh bone and other factors. This was a big issue with ex-GF as they could tell she was going to be tall and would consequently need multiple extra surgeries on her leg.

Maybe your math sucked, Lisa.
