Better than the other one though, my mom sewed most of our clothes and crop pants were the " in thing" mine were green .. I wore my new outfit to school the next day.. one of my guy friends said You waitin on a flood.. we swapped insults back and forth awhile then he says Oh, you know I'm just kidding Jolly Green Giant. I'm 6 ft. and comfortable with my height, which sure comes in handy when you need something off the top shelf :-D
You go girl. I was also like you towering over all my friends. My BFF was very short & my mom called us "Mutt & Jeff" after an old comic strip. HAve been tallest one all my life. Wore a size 10 shoe in the 6 th grade. My DGD is in the 2nd grade, youngest one in the class & a head taller than any of them. She is going to be a tall girl too. She already wears a size 5 in womens shoes. Comes in handy at the store when all those little short people can't reach the top shelf at wally world.
As a short person I thank you for helping reach the top shelf. It is so frustrating to have to climb.
