**Cranky** ,

Size at birth has little to do with mature size.

Though I don’t remember it, my birth certificate clearly says that I was 6 1/2 lbs at birth and 21 inches long. I’ve since grown to a full standing height of 6’7" and weigh 255 pounds.

Huh? What do mean you were talking about something else? What else _could_ you have been talking about? … Oh.  
Never Mind.
