True Story: Son went to a practice recently attended by some area scouts. Anyway, he was asked his height. My son said 6'1". Then, he measured them. Son was 6'1 1/4." (He had them take their cleats off.) Anyway, now I won't feel bad about him always being registered as 6' 2", given what was just said about adding for the cleats. I always register him as 6' 1", and it always gets changed to 6" 2". I assure you it isn't him or his family that changes it. Gues 3/4" is ok.
The part he was so proud about was the weight. He was asked, "what he went-- about 190?" Son said, "No sir, about 210." The scout told my son he must have some muscle hidden under there, because he sure didn't look 210. That made my son's day. In reality, I think he's about 205, but he was afraid he might pull a scale out as well!! (Our family suffers from the "pleasantly plump" category, and it's just as hard to lose weight as it is to gain weight-- believe me.
