proven theory...

I have long had a theory that I have shared with many. That drinking Diet Coke makes you short. I was the proof of that theory, being the shortest kid in my family (5'8" for me, 6' for my sister, 6'2" for one brother, and 6'4" for another). And last night my theory was proven again. The girl and her cousin K are 9 months apart. Usually they get to be about the same height, and then the girl hits a growth spurt. Not so much last night. K is taller than the girl now! Even though the girl's growth spurt will start soon, K has never been taller. How does this prove my theory? The girl has been taking drinks off my diet coke for the last year. She swore to quit that habit after last night, and finding out that her mom was right! Feel free to use this theory on your kids as well. I have always said that diet coke makes kids short, and I now have further proof to add!
