Crisis

This picture right here is a picture of a pole in my basement showing my height on February 24, 2008 (ok I know it doesn't seem like much of a crisis now but you'll see where I'm going with this). It's about 5' 9". So the other day I was in the basement with my dad and I was curious to see how much I had grown since then. So I put my back against the board, being pretty excited to see the progress in my growing and then all of a sudden this excitement was interrupted when my dad said, "You're exactly the same."

Exactly the same? I rechecked it one more time and it was the same. I have not grown one bit! I'm still at the same stinkin' height of 5' 9''. It's been about three and a half months, almost four since I last measured myself. I should've grown by then. Is this the end? Or am I hitting a long lull of growing? I don't want to be 5' 9" for the rest of my life! My dad's 6' tall. Am I going to be looking up to my dad forever? I thought I would at least reach his height and grow a little bit more after that. But I haven't even got close! I'm three inches shorter. What is the deal! Well I guess there is nothing I can do about it. Maybe I'll start growing again. If not, I guess I'll just have to live with being short...oh well.
