You Know You Are Old When

[NoTrespassing]

I was 4'9" tall when I graduated from 8th grade. I think it was a 6th grade science fair project, so I was probably shorter than that at the time the jammies were made. I was 6' tall and 135# when I graduated high school. I'm now 6' tall and 235# at almost 65 yeas old. For about 5-6 years after high school my shoulders and chest kept getting wider. About 10 years ago, my belly followed suit!

You may want to take another measurement, or not. I've lost 1/2 inch. I'm 5'-11 1/2" now. I was 6' at high school graduation.

Get a new ruler the one you have must be worn out.

I got about 1/2" taller after my back surgery last January, so true 6' in my socks again.

Same. I peaked at 6'-0", but now usually measure closer to 5'-11". It also varies throughout the day, we're shorter at bed time than when we wake, in general.

I was 6'3" entering grade 8 and 135 lbs. Summer before grade 11 I worked as a camp counselor and came home at 186 lbs. Lost 10 lbs and stayed there until late 40's. Now under 6';2" and 212 lbs. nearly 78 years.

My dad was 6'3" and 135# when he got drafted into the Army for WWII. It's fun to look at family photos and watch him "fill out" over the years. My mom was a great cook!
