I was at the Drs office and a nurse was taking vitals. She types into the chart, looks at me, and says "Not possible!"

"Excuse me?"

"Your chart lists 5' 11", but you're six feet. You can't be growing at fifty!"

I explained a silly promise to myself not to say "six feet" until I *really was* six feet. Sure I would get there. And topped at 5' 11 5/8"...

She laughed, and said "Whatever..." (and I don't know what she put in the chart)

I said, "I bet most people say six-foot the instant they cross 5-11, right?"

She laughed...and said "Five ten!"
