Throughout my school life I was always know as the shortest in the class. Even when I got older and wasn't any longer the tag stuck. In my family growing up I was the shortest but eldest child. Despite this I was constantly told to stop "elephant-ing around". Now as an adult at 5ft 2 I have a husband who is 6ft 6. My 4 year old is just above average and my 2 year old who was 56cm at birth has been off the height charts ever since. I figure I have till he's about 10 till they're all taller than me. Strangely, I always imagine I have very very long legs.
This is soooo funny. Especially because I am drawing the same thing. I immediately thought of my son because he is heighty. LOL. Just shy of 6 ft. 5 inches. Hope to post my illo tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! I am 5'2 as well and have a tall husband..I just hope that they are all taller than me someday!
ReplyDeleteHaha great take on the topic! Really cute characters! I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that dad Height is a bit of a hippie. Haha.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the expressions on their faces.
ReplyDeleteLove the take on this topic! I was a ginormous 3-year-old, and didn't stop growing until high school. Now I'm almost 6 feet tall and my husband is about 1 whole inch taller than me! This is a really cute portrait!
ReplyDeleteHi Claire
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my giraffes. Love the clean style of your illustrations and cool (as in cool) blog...maybe a reaction to the hot, hot sun and the rusty red dirt!
Despite being the eldest child, I have always been the shortest in my family, (although our Jack Russell was shorter than me). Measured at the hospital recently, I seem to now be 1/2" taller than I thought I was at 5'4". I'm now also taller than my Mum, but that's more to do with her shrinkage at 84 than my growth.
Great take and characters.
DeleteI'm the youngest and shortest in my family at 5", petite. My Folks are average height- Mom 5 4, Dad 5 8. My oldest sister is just above me at almost 5 2. Middle sister is tallest sister at 5 4. Mid sister likes to refer to me as Ma Petite Soeur. :-D
Thanks for visiting and comments at my blog too.
Best to you
