"Walking Tall"

[zyzyly]

I bask in the heady heights of your imaginations!

Perhaps this clue would have helped. In high school, my nickname was "hobbit".

We must stand in awe of amicablebitch, who was "spot-on". It is obvious how she got it--she enlarged the picture enough to recognize the camera brand, contacted Canon to obtain the exact dimensions of the camera, and, using her stellar math skills, extrapolated my true height from the camera dimensions!

I am 5'5".

Measure For Measure

Now, see, I thought you meant how tall you were on my monitor, which was about 3". You didn't say anything about how tall you 'actually' were. Sheesh.

I was close!

And I would have guessed a little shorter but my experience with a friend who I will only refer to as The Beaver (5'4") is that even when people are under 5'6", sometimes they bristle if you point it out:).

That's really funny.

But it's REALLY funny *because*...the US-based doctor who reviewed our adoption case just sent us some postage-stamp-sized stickers and told us that when we get to Kazakhstan we're supposed to stick one on our son's forehead and take a picture of him so she has a scale by which she can judge how close her estimate of his size was.
