Out of the mouths of babes ..........

Priceless! 🥰

That’s cheered a grumpy morning up.

This is so cute!
I’m going to try it later as I’ve always wanted to be 5’ 8”

That's so funny!

That made me smile.

Unfortunately I've shrunk

Me too. Will it work?
Does anyone remember walking round balancing a book on their head to help with posture?
That didn't work either.

DH offered to measure me the other day but I declined.
I know I've shrunk. ☹

I've lost 1.75 inches over the years. I'd better get "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" out of the bookcase.

My DIL recently took my GS's temperature and he asked DIL why he still felt so hot when she was supposed to have taken his temperature.

I've just been sorting out a lot of books and contemplating which one is best to help with growing.

There's a very heavy art book on the heap to throw out - will that add two inches or squash me down even further?

You could try standing on it🤭

When marking my grandchildren’s heights on the kitchen door I told them that old people shrink. They were intrigued and kept wanting to measure Granny’s height. I think they imagined that I would soon be the size of a toddler!p

I stood on a stool to reach some of the books and was at least 5'10"!

A lovely story.
I have always been small and my best friend at school was very tall, the teachers called us mop and bucket.

That’s not as silly as it sounds Oreo 🙂

Back in the day when I used to go to many music festivals and outside gigs I always took a beer crate with me to stand on. It was light weight, waterproof, sturdy and just the right height.
Nobody could complain as I was still only 5’ 10”

My medical records show that I have shrunk 2.5 inches in the last 19 years, so would need a taller crate these days!

I have lost 3 inches in height in just 2 years, I need a library on my head!

How cute. The innocence of children.

Love it! My granddaughter asked me if I buy size 65/66 knickers when I’d bought her size 5/6 knickers.

When my nephew was in kindergarten he asked his teacher whether it was beter to be a busy body or a busy bee.

"Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?"

Ring any bells, or is it too long since we last heard or read the Authorized Version? (Matthew 6. v 26)

People have apparently always wanted to be taller than they were!

One cubit being 18"!

I think I'll stay as I am.

My son was very bold & loved words. One day whilst out shopping we met a gentleman of a certain age who stopped to chat.
My darling son pipes-up (loudly!) with 'Why are you talking to that old, bald, wrinkly, scruffy- man mummy?' Luckily for us the
gentleman was rather hard of hearing too. 😊

That reminds me of DS1 at 3 or 4 years old. He saw a punk for the first time as we were walking into a supermarket, and excitedly shouted to me, "Mummy, Mummy, look - a clown"!

If the young man heard, he didn't bat an eyelid, but we were so close that I doubt he could have missed it

😂 love it

My 4year old son was chatting to a very old frail looking man on the bus. After a little while he asked the man ‘ isn’t it time for you to go to heaven’ He smiled at him thankfully.

Oh Iove all these little antidotes about the daft, silly things kids & their grown-up betters! say.
My daft mother told the builder
"That she was very good at mating if he needed a hand"!!! 😙
