Nov 2014

an adult, my height wasn't that unusual.

But growing up, I was always the tallest kid in my classes.

I'm imaging how your body type looks, and thinking of a guy I lived with for a while. He was a few inches shorter than I was, but had a longer upper body and short legs. I'm long on bottom and short on top. One day I measured each of us, head to waist, then waist to feet, then swapped our waist to feet numbers. With his long upper body and my legs, he was like 7 feet tall. With my short torso and his short legs, I was like 4 feet tall.

OK so I am easily amused.
