F2 measured me the other day because we'd had some controversy as to how tall I was. The last time I had measured how tall I was was about a year ago when I was 5' 3" and I thought I'd grown about an inch since then, but I was wrong. I hadn't grown 1" or even 2", but 3"! I am now officially 5'6"!! But what was even more astounding was that the tape said that F2 was only 6'2", and since he was about 6'3" last measuring, we think it may be 1" off, so I may actually be 5'7"! Who knows, but Bony-M is only 5'6" and if I'm as tall as her then I'm pretty dang accomplished for my age.
Height was a variating thing in the Draft family you see. Some of us children are extremely tall, a lot are in the middle, and one in particular is still the height of a seventh grader, but no matter our height we always marked it on a certain upstanding beam in our laundry room a.k.a my room. It has all of our names on it, our height, and the date of the measuring. I tended to mark it every year, but others did it just a couple times and left it at that. To this day I still mark my name, height and the date. It helps me to see my progression towards everybody else's heights. I look at the dates and calculate the persons age according to their birth year and then compare to my own. H always told me how short I was and that I was never going to be as tall as her. She's only 5'8" and if I continue to atleats semi grow through my sophomore year, she better look out because I'm aiming for 5'8 1/2, just so I can look down upon her and laugh.

I guess I'll have to get bigger hair
soooo...what exactly does the Hello Kitty Darth Vader have to do with your post? And I stopped growing when I was your age, so what makes you think that this little spurt of yours isn't the end for you?
