Dude-- a ten year-old trumps me by four inches.
OMG, you're right. Basketball team in high school for Malia, anyone?
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, that is tall for a ten year old! I was probably 5'8" by 12, but I sprouted pretty fast before that, IIRC. Although I might have been my mother's height (5'5") at 10 -- I was definitely wearing her shoes then....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Does the White House have some kind of rule that they have the find the creepiest Easter Bunny costume available? Seriously, none of those bunnies are at all cute.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ISTR height is determined on the mother's side, so there you go.

And now I want to Natter about Jen's post in BaBB (I have been eating half-price candy this afternoon....):
I have been spoiled before, but I've gotten progressively less spoiler averse since joining the board... and, frankly, the aging that's happened since then, because I forget shit all the damn time anyway.
Months ago, I was at my parents' and made a comment about a new book they had in a series I read -- that I was going to look for that book when I got back home. My mother was like, "Oh, I couldn't believe [enormous spoiler!]" I was like, "MOOOOMMM!!!" Yeah, but then when I read the book recently, I had totally forgotten, and was surprised when it happened. Good times.

If Malia's ten that'd make her in 4th grade, right? I was around 5'4" by that time, and had reached my final height of 5'8" by the beginning of 6th grade.

Hah! Not in my family....my mom is tall like her dad (her mom is 5'2. She is 5'9. I am short like the women in my dad's family (he is 6'0, but the women in his family are average, 5'5 like me). I think it is heinously unfair that my parents will always be several inches taller than me.

My brother's two boys take after him (the one in college is already over six feet, and the other is rapidly approaching that point even though he's only 12 years old), but his daughter takes after her mom's side and is only about 5'5".

I must be wrong about the height thing, because I don't see it in google and it doesn't even sound right anymore.

You guys, I've totally forgotten my timecard password. The one I've used every day for 2 months. And I asked to have it reset and sent to me except now I think they don't have the right email for me.
The holes in my memory are getting worse.
