Hey, I'm not short anymore...

No, I haven't grown. So, well, OK, I'm still short. But I'm no longer such an exception! In general, the French aren't as tall as Americans and, in particular, especially among women of my generation and older (those born just after or during WWII)I see many who I almost tower over! I'm sure it's a combination of genetics but probably also the conditions in France during wartime. So it's nothing to gloat over... Still, it's a new experience for me.
