My daughter has matched me in height, brushing 6 feet, for over a year now and her brother is desperate to be taller than she is. He has virtually achieved his dream, it certainly looks pretty close when they stand back to back - we will need to measure them soon to be sure. She was thinking she had until the autumn, if not Christmas before he caught her up but I think she is going to have to concede defeat now.
Believe me buying trousers for a fashion conscious girl of 6 feet tall and size 8 (UK size 8 = size 6 USA) is a nightmare, it seems designers can't believe that anyone of that height can be so skinny. That all pales into insignificance at the side of trying to buy trousers for a young man a whisper under 6 feet tall with a 20 inch waist. Thank goodness for Asda's school trousers with adjustable waists but casual trousers either have to be joggers or have eight inches of fabric bunched up in a belt or two large darts in the back of them, and still he wears them drooping around the midline of his backside yuk, yuk, yuk. I hate that look!!!! It always appears as though they have done something they should have grown out of in their pants.
