How's the Weather Up There

Somehow I received all the "short" genes in my family. My brother and sisters are 5'4" , 5' 6", 6' and my kids are 5'9" and 6'. Why am I bemoaing this? I saw a billboard yesterday detailing the new SC child restraint laws. The magic number is 4'9". Children this tall and under have to be in a booster seat. I'm a mere 3 inches from being in that group!!!!!
