Interesting question. I remembered that it occurred to me just as the midwife was smacking my bum to make me breathe. 'That should make me grow,' I thought; and sure enough I am now much taller than I was when I was born. In those innocent days I did not think I should grow many more centimetres than I was then, but that whack certainly got the growth genes moving.

Yeah, which is funny because mom is 5ft5(avg height) and my father is 6ft1(avg height for men)..I guess I went above expectations, lol.

When I was born I didn't know what short meant.
