When i was 5 i believed humans carried on growing forever until we would reach the height of the ceiling until we died. (Don't ask Why, but i did). However i couldn't understand why my parents and other members of my family stopped growing but i was always convieved i would be taller than them. I'm 19 now and yes i'm taller than my parents, only by 4 ins.
