[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 214250, member: 3907"] Could this be because difficult child and easy child spent time together when he was little, so his perception of her is that she's WAAAAYYY taller than he is? And that you and he are the same size because he spends a lot of time with you and recognizes that you're about eye-to-eye, size-wise? I see so many similarities between your difficult child and mine, Terry, and mine has a very warped idea of his size compared to others. difficult child was the shortest boy in his class at school for a very long time. Until The Great Growth Spurt. He's now 6 ft. 3 (and counting), but in his head he's still a little half-pint and thinks of himself as the same size as me (5 ft 2). With his warped logic, he has decided that I'm tall as well because "Mom and I are the same height." It's all very strange, but when you tease apart all of the different tangled strands there's a strange logic to it. Maybe something similar is going on with your difficult child's perception. He has an idea that his big sister is way taller than he is. Since he's now the same size as mom, she has to be WAY taller. Just a thought... [/QUOTE]
