Expecting someone taller?

[amberdreams]

My cousin's new wife has collated all the wedding pics from their marriage celebration a couple of weekends ago, and although I'm dischuffed about how bloody WIDE I am (I really do need to lose a couple of stones) - suddenly I feel quite tall. I mean, what a bunch of short-arses my family is. Ha ha ha!!!

In case you hadn't seen me before, I'm the dork on the end holding a wedding-inappropriate canvas bag with a picture of Castiel on its reverse. At least I remembered to turn it around for the photo...!

Your family all look lovely and happy.

You're lucky to get to feel tall. My brother and his wife are the same height, both just over six feet tall. I am just over five feet tall. I fully expect that this Christmas I will find that niece or nephew or maybe both will have gotten taller than me.

On the other hand, it's useful having the tall people around. Now that both my parents are of an age where they are losing height, our household is on the verge of being collectively incapable of reaching the shelf where the mixing bowls are. We will just have to give up mixing forever.

I have high shelf problems in our house too. Paul puts the chocolate biscuits on the top shelf so I have to get my little stepping stool to reach them, or use the bread knife to poke at them and knock them down. of course I persevere which is why I'm wide. LOL

Damn though, that's not fair, is it. How did your bro get all the inches!
