When my daughter was small she had some skin peeling on her feet, so I told her that she was growing out of her skin because she was getting bigger.
One day my husband and I came home and she was sitting on the couch peeling at her feet, and she said "Look Mom, I can't believe I'm still growing" She was 18!!!!!!!!!
