Sexy and Shriveling

Took my teen sister to her doctor for a checkup. 

The nurse said she was 5'7" tall. 

HUH? Wait a minute... lets try that again, must be a mistake.

She measured again. Yes, my sister is definitely 5'7".

I have always been 5'7" and she's already towering over me.

I said, um, can you measure me then? Cause I'm confused.

5'6"

I lost an inch of height?! LOL. Whaaat?

Numbers raced through my head. So I am FATTER! Now my goal weight has to be 5lbs lower? Or 10lbs? Oh god, no no, I have to be an inch taller, I need it!

I wanted the nurse to help me understand what just happened. But for some reason she seemed unfazed by my nervous breakdown. It was like she had something better to do.

I sat through my sisters exam... nodding my head and pretending to care (cause I am such a selfless person), all the while thinking about how I need to hurry home and recalculate my BMI.

Afterwords her doctor asked if I had any questions. 

I jumped up. Ooh yeah! She is clearly taller than me right? I have always been 5'7", and she just measured at 5'7", but now I am suddenly 5'6". How is that possible?

He chuckled and said not to worry, it just happens as we become older.

WTF??

But I'm only in my 20's.

Welcome to the geriatric shrinking club zen.

Wet granny kisses,

Oh, btw her drug test was negatory! Good girl. I told you I am a strict hypocrite.

EDIT: I calculated my new goal weight based on shrinkage... 103lbs.
So that means I am now 7lbs fatter.
Lovely.
