DAD JOKE:::My daughter is a ten-year-old who people think is 15.
She's been at the 99th percentile for height her entire life. She normally eats like a horse, but for the last couple of days she hasn't finished her lunch. She says she's just not hungry.
Me: "Maybe that means your growth is slowing down."
Child: "That would be a relief."
Me: "Why is that a relief?"
Child: "Well, do YOU always like being tall?"
Me: "Not always -- but being tall gets you a lot of respect."
Child: "Why?"
Me: "People really look up to you."
