Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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 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.

My sister and I were differently sized babies, who ended up the same height. She was more normal-sized -- they weren't sure if I'd end up much over five foot.
