Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for September 02, 2018

In a couple of years, beware the cat and the spider in the basement.

Somewhere along the way I’ve shrunk at least 4 inches. I hope that’s all or I’ll be the one needing somebody tall to get that can off the top shelf at the grocery store.

Not really funny.

That heights slumps into our feet as we age. Your shoe size will increase.

That’s why there are so many little ol ladies and little ol men.

In another 80 years there’ll be hardly anything left of you.

I have no idea how tall (or, rather SHORT) I am. As a 20 year old, I was told 5’2. And now I hover at 5’2 1/2 – 5’3 1/4. I think it’s really about what time of day I go to the doctor. Early morning? Taller than by 4pm. LOL. I just say 5’3 and I’m almost Medicare age. That’s my story, and I’m sticking with it!

Soon, I’ll be able to fit thru that little door and get into the beautiful garden! Now, was it “Eat Me” or “Drink Me” ???? :)

But how come the floor seems to get farther away?

I’d be more excited if I shrank another inch around my waist.

Now he can’t ride on some of the rides at Disneyland/California Adventure/Disney World.

At least he didn’t shrink somewhere else.

How much of that height reduction is just the hairline receding?
