Maybe she has dyscalculia, like me, JZ. I mean, not to worry, or anything, but if you keep noticing that, um, don't make her wait until she's twenty-two to figure it out. But she could just get it, too. But many highly creative people can haz it.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hey Kat, Franny just did another closet culling and we have another bag of lovely dresses. Mostly size 6, but there are some 4s and 5s in there as well. And I have some bags of cute trousers, boy sweaters, and I'm sure some cute dresses in 4-5 from an earlier culling. Are you interested?
My boy now outweighs his sister by almost 10 pounds, and they look the same height, but she's somehow longer than he is, so she's wearing size 8 & 10 while he's still in boys' 6s and 7s. Also when do boys' sizes start going up by 2s?

Boys goes 6, 6x, 7, 8, 10, just like girls. I just bought Casper 12 slim jeans, which are still too big in the waist, but she needs the length. She is the queen of high waters, just like I was. Sigh. (She doesn't care - yet.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In the last few months Emmett's morphed so that his pants are longer than his waist size. He's gotten so much leaner than he ever was before as he got into shape, that his 32W x 34L jeans are sagging off his ass. He really needs 30W X 34L right now.
And I think he's heading into another growth spurt because (a) his acne is acting up; (2) he's teenboy stinky; and (3) he's eating ALL THE FOOD.
Things I fed Emmett between 8:30 and Noon today: three scrambled eggs and two pieces of buttered toast; thick slice of cherry chocolate bread with butter; hot chocolate with a dollop of ice cream in it; a large smoothie; a quesadilla. Then he got himself a strawberry milkshake when we went out.

I figured Casper must be in 12s by now since Franny is in 10s. Crazy. And yeah, skinny kids seems happy to wear high waters. I think they are happy that the waist finally fits.

Be careful, David. Pretty soon, Emmett isn't going to fit in your apartment any more.

Trust my rage
Ellie totally skipped size 6/6X. I suppose she went through it over the summer but she's now a 7 whose pants always have to be checked to make sure they don't fall off.
I will happily reimburse anyone who wants to do a TJs run for me!

Send me a list, Stephanie! More motivation to get to the store would be good for me.

He already doesn't! He sprawls on the couch and takes up the entire living room. In a household of four he manages to take up well more than half the living space. Even with his own room.
