So a couple of weekends ago I was looking on amazon for growth charts for the boys, and I found one that exceeded my expectations. It's listed in centimeters, which is kind of annoying, but every 5 cms or so lists a new "You're as tall as..." statement. For example, Auden is 80 cm, as tall as a gremlin. Logan is 103 cm, as tall as a cheetah. Both, I find, are fitting descriptions for the boys, and, coincidentally, Logan's favorite animal is the cheetah these days. He has been playing a game of his own design (ok, he stole it from the cats), "flashlight cheetah," which involves one of us rolling a flashlight beam around the floor, while he growls like a cheetah, smacking at the circle of light. Now, I'm not sure how or when they measured a gremlin, but it's amusing nonetheless.
Did you know a Dodo bird was 100 cm tall? I had always pictured them as being about the same size of a chicken. No wonder they hunted them to extinction. Imagine the drumsticks on those birds!
I'm as tall (or long?) as the world's longest mustache, 172 cm. Eric, at 186 cm, is as tall as a Yeti. So, how tall are you?
