I have been measured many times in the last decade - I've even had a full body scan by lasers. I have been consistently 1 meter 51.2 cm (about 4'11''). I have a growth hormone deficiency so I've been measured more than your average bear. A lot. Loads.
And then ... today ... I am 1 meter 53 cm ... which is just over 5ft.
I don't know quite what to make of this. I should point out that this is an official measurement by a real nurse on a clever machine, not just Badger with pencil up against a doorframe. Lovely nurse was quite amused at my incredulity and checked it and checked it again. She confirmed that people do not regularly state that it has over-measured them. (She also did my BMI. It was not nearly enough. Please send chocolate, egg shaped or otherwise.)
Bizarrely, my dad confirmed that I appeared taller when we met up a few weeks ago. Even weirder, I actually feel taller. Just a little.
This is very strange.
Very strange indeed.
There are only two possible explanations.
My head says: I am now living at an average of 250m above sea level. I am further from the center of mass of the earth and closer to the moon. The gravitational forces acting on my body have caused me to become stretched.
My heart says: Kissing Ms Melancholy can make you taller.
