…to demonstrate a point.
Am I the last to join Julies Height of Summer?
I can’t find a full length photo of me that is anywhere near flattering recent. So would a picture of my airing cupboard door do?
Last time Lotta was here there was an early morning discussion about height. (No, I have no idea why). She and Ben think and talk in metric whilst Paul & I are firmly planted in imperial which didn’t help the conversation at all. Ben was telling suggesting to Lotta that she had her height measurement wrong and that if it was right she would be as tall as his mum.
Ooops! note to son: never compare or even allude to comparison between girlfriend and mother…bad move.
So this was what he did…
He got his parents and girlfriend out of bed, searched around for a pencil and tape measure and made us all stand by the airing cupboard door. We were still in our nighties! We each had to be measured, twice. Once in metric and once in imperial.
I would have preferred a conversion because I am five feet six inches when I do that!
Thank you Julie for such a fun challenge.
Hi Miriam – hoefully you’re not the last to join in – and you’re certainly not late – it’s got until the end of the month.
That was some brave/misguided move of his! I hope Lotta wasn’t too put out!
Thanks so much for sharing this – it’s a great story! And it’s on the board with the others now too: http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/the-height-of-summer-2012/
I’ll go add you to the height chart now.
Julie 🙂
Oh my goodness, the indignity of it – in one’s nightie? Harrumph!
What a great picture – we chart the kids’ growth on the kitchen wall.

LOL – certainly not the last – I’ve only just got MY pantry door post blogged and I’m not that happy with the news either!
I had to laugh at the thought of you all in your nightwear!
