Okay all these years I thought I was 5'2 1/2 now not saying that is very tall but hey it was kewl...bigsmile

Well lately have had a friend that has been ribbing me with the short jokes and he swears I'm not 5'2 1/2. Of course I stand my ground and tell him I'm so...grumble

Well today I decided to see who was right so I get my daughter to get out the measuring tape I take off my shoes and she made sure my hair was not adding any height....whoa

surprised Then the moment comes she says Mom your only 5'1slaphead

Shshhshs now that is just not rightnoway noway :laughing: :laughing:

Hummmm So who has actually taken the time to really measure their height without the shoes and found out your true height? And how tall did you find out you really are?shocked

5'2 IS tall compared to me..lol..I'm like 4'6..sooo at 5'2 you were a giant..lol..I can't measure myself like everyone else does so I might not really be even that tall..BUT the upside for me is that I am always sitting so no one can truly tell if I am short or not..lol

Yup..I'm itty bitty..but there are two reasons for that..my grandma was only 4'11 or 4'8(They werent sure) my aunt is 4'8 or 4'11..she isnt sure either..lol..and my mama is only 5'2..and me having SB doesn't help at all..lol..sooooooo yup I was doomed from before birth to be short.

Just a thought:

Who's say that you didn't dry up like an old prune, over time...you know "dry out" a little or shrivel up like a fruit? what

Also who's to say that the measuring device didn't stretch over your head...making your 5'2" to now show as 5'1"! The device could be degrading due to age...what

The older you get the shorter you get due to the spine being compressed.
