Okay, maybe I didn't shrink my friend, but she is now short! I had lunch with a long-time friend today. As we stood at the cash register to pay our tickets, I realized I was looking down at her. Naturally, I pointed it out, and she said, yes, she was now 5 feet tall! I didn't ask, but I'm sure that's at least 5 inches.
It shouldn't change our friendship, but somehow it changes how I look toward the future. I plan on keeping her around in my old age. She bakes the most fantastic breads and cookies.
Will I need to purchase a little stool for her someday so she can properly knead bread? If we go shopping, will I need to carry her bags so they don't drag on the floor? Will I have trouble seeing her through bifocals?
I'm wondering if one loses weight as a person gets older. For example, if I weigh 180 lbs. when I'm 5'6', that's almost 2.73 per inch. If I lose five inches in height, will I also lose more than 13 lbs.? I think the height loss is probably along the spine, which supports more body weight than the total of each leg. So, maybe 15 lbs? 20? It might be worth investigating.
I do wish my feet would shrink.
