What about this one:
Any vegan who tries to take away my bacon will find out first hand how I believe in the killing of animals.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Our wings are not tired.
With Brendon and Em you can take a quick look at the dad and see that all is right and normal. (with the kids anyway)

The only real issue was people treating the baby like he had some problem since he wasn't walking and talking.
A friend of a friend ran into this with her son. He was the size of a toddler before he could even crawl. He even looked like a toddler. It was really striking. The other problem was that because he was so big, when the mom grabbed his arm to keep him from falling one day, the pull of his own weight dislocated either his shoulder or his elbow, I don't remember which. They had to really watch for stuff like that; tumbles that wouldn't hurt a smaller frame really banged him up. And he walked later, they guess because his muscles had to work a bit harder to support his frame...and probably because he really hated falling down.
The thing is? While he is still on the taller side of average for his age, you would never have guessed he was ginormous baby.

My niece was born at 9 lbs, 6 oz, and she reached a point around seven years old where they were worried that she was going to need growth hormone shots. She grew no more than an inch between ages 6 and 8, possibly 9, but now she's 14 and perfectly normal in height (about 5'4" and a typical teen in body and spirit).

Our next-door neighbor's son is in the 95th percentile for height and weight - he's not fat, just HUGE. And so, at 9 months, looks about twice his age. It always takes a few moments for me to remember that he's not actually that much older than D, developmentally, because he's so much bigger.
(D is tall and skinny, like Em - 40th percentile for weight, 80th for height. He's a little string bean.)
