Ah, well, the day has come. I knew it would, just thought I had a little longer.

It seems I am the shortest person in my family. Ronnie has surpassed me. I refused to believe it at first, but perhaps I should resign myself to it. We noticed during the weekend when we had a small get together in honour of friends Andrew and Jenny, who were visiting from California. I made Reid take repeated pictures to prove it to me. Ronnie is happy as a lark. A friend Tom helpfully suggested we have another child so I don’t have to be the shortest. I’ll take it up with Reid.
You may find that amputating Ronnie’s legs (or his head) will suit your purposes as well.
Gary is only half-an-inch behind me. I expect that he will be taller than I am by Hallowe’en.
I still have Charlie;-)
