Ca,iforia, a CHP officer pulled over a car because h hought a young child was driving i. He discovered the driver was not a young child, but an adult woman whose driving licence listed her height as four foot five. (I know seven year olds taller than that). She was it turned out, a legal immigrant from the highlands of Guatemala. I have seem these people and they are, in general, VERY short.

Not satisfied with being foiled at arresting a ten year old whilst driving, he cited her for NOT using a "child seat booster"as required by law for "children" under the age of twelve who are shorter than some arbitrary number. She was smart/stubborn enough to appear in court. The judge threw it out. Don't remembr what the judge said to the copper.. he SHOULD have cleaned his closk.

Then there is the kid my Dad remembered from his high school years.... he was "six foot sixteen". Star basketball player on the small school's team.
