This should be impossible. Did she really grow 3 inches before your eyes? Nah you clearly remeasured her. But how could she have grown 3 inches in one day? It was worht testing again.
Emily was oblivious to your thoughts, waving her arms around in some kind of victory dance.
“Haha in your face!”
“Let me measure you again.”
Emily stuck her tongue out again
“Why? Can’t you accept I’m taller.”
“Uhh…” You try to think of something quickly ”You might be taller than I realise.”
“Oh har har.”
“Let me just try please. You might even gain an inch.”
Emily rolls her eyes.
“Fine whatever. But only one more. A growing girl needs to eat!”
You put the marker at 5’4. Before you’re very eyes she shoots up to that. It really wasn’t a trick of the light. But how is this possible? Emily looks at you impatiently.
“Come on what’s the delay? We know it says 5’1.”
She’s still oblivious? How can this be?
“Actually you’re 5’4.”
She laughs derisively.
“Pfft like I’m falling for that.”
“It’s true, doesn’t everything seem shorter to you?”
“I don’t feel any different.”
You point to the mark on the wall.
“Look at the mark.”
She turned her head to the wall and gasps. She can clearly see her earlier 5’1 marking and her head well above it.
“Holy cow! I grew again! You sure you aren’t messing with me?”
“No. I don’t know but you’re taller. Look at our heights.”
She walked up to you smiles. Before you were more than a head and half taller than her, now she nearly reaches your chin. Her smile becomes a wide grin. She stands on her tip toes, looking into your face.
“Ha you better watch out I’m catching up!”
For a second she stands there, grinning from ear to ear. Then she grabs your hand.
“Measure me again! Measure me again!” Emily is actually jumping up and down now. You don’t remember the last time you saw her this excited.
Before you can even reply, she pushed your arm back with unexpected for, nudging the market just past her previous heigh.
