COFFEE?!?
Doesn't she know that coffee can stunt a kid's growth?
Didn't work for me, maybe another couple of pots will help.
I hit 6' before 9th grade. Maybe I should'a been drinking it...
As someone who had to take artificial HGH for 7 years and only managed 5'5", I find that remarkably unfair.
His Junior year in high school (i think it was) my dad went from something like 6' 2" to six-six ... and then over his Senior year, shrank back down to 6' 4'.
And had back problems the rest of his life.
I had a Japanese-American friend who was not even five feet tall ... one night at an SF convention she was wandering the halls cosplaying something or other, and i saw her and told her i didn't know they made sexy boned corsets in girl's sizes.
For reference on her size, i'm six feet even - i was once walking through the halls at another convention, looking for Lee (her name). She and i were going with one bunch of our friends to do something (i forget what), and Susan (my first wife), her friend, Sue, and a couple of our other friends were going to attend some programming.
I and the others were headed for where we were supposed to meet up with Lee - when i spotted her standing outside the room where the program item was going to be, talking to Susan, Sue and Brad.
I didn't even slow down, just stuck out an arm, scooped her up, and kept walking without breaking stride - sort of like a Railway Post Office clerk using a hook to grab a mailbag as the train ran through the station without stopping.
She just waved "By, Susan! Bye, Sue!" as we walked away.
