No one ever wanted me on their sports teams I was always the “you take her” person left over. Eventually I grew to 5 foot 2 and endured years of that song. It isn’t cute when you long to be taken seriously. And then came middle age and the realization that all the weight I wanted in certain places had decided to settle right around my middle. So hilariously funny to reflect on the fact that while I was longing for those inches you were longing for bricks to take them away. I love finally being at the age where it all works out no matter what we thought we wanted.

Now he's average height. My middle daughter had huge growth spurts these past few years - she could always tell one was coming because she'd throw up. But it was worth it for her because she's taller than I am already :)The Runcible Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404638468437546854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435604676602657843.post-90140103723815237042017-12-17T15:24:02.413-08:002017-12-17T15:24:02.413-08:00I tottered about on high heels, than gave up.
