My son and I were standing outside - and it finally dawned on him. He is maybe a centimeter taller than me now. I refused to admit it - however, it was quite obvious especially when both of us where barefoot.

Quick, someone link me to an elevator shoe company :)

Data

Dad 6 foot even
Son 6 foot and maybe 1/4 of an inch more. (15 years old)



sigh

I know not of this centimeter of which you speak. Is that a made up approximated unit, like a "smidge"?

Please report back when you can measure in real units.

Thank you.

I always wish I was taller. I am only 5'5". My husband and most of my friends are taller. :(

My kitty is shorter than me, though! ;)

My girlfriend is 5'5", and she's perfect. Be happy! :)

Though, I'm only 5'10...

I say you should blame gravity for that one. It just won't leave you alone after all these years...

Heh, my dad does the same thing. He won't admit that I'm taller than him despite being so for years.

Tell him you were 6'4", but dealing with his being a pain in the ass wore you down 4 inches.
