Audrey, I love your tall tale and am inspired to become taller! I mean, how hard can it be? Although I may appear to be barely above ground level (to you), I can reach most high shelves at 5' 9", especially those that hold cookie jars. Admittedly I do sometimes have to use a step stool.

My nickname at school was "Skyscraper" (for about a week). This may have been due to my 80s hair and espadrille wedges, though. I'm going to take your advice and think big from now on. Maybe one day, I'll be the world's tallest person - or at least the second-tallest. I'll tag you in a story when I reach 2.17 m. Wish me luck!
