Pool | CA, USA
(My sister and I are in our 30s, and have just met our cousin’s five-year-old daughter for the first time. We’re all in our aunt and uncle’s (her grandparents’) pool.)
Little Cousin: “I can’t touch the bottom here!”
Sister: “Neither can I. I’m short.”
Little Cousin: “Yeah, but we’ll grow and then we can touch like [My Name].”
(I’m four inches taller than my sister and standing still.)
Sister: “You’ll keep growing, but I’m all done.”
Little Cousin: “No, you’re not!”
Sister: “Yes, I am; I finished growing a long time ago.”
Little Cousin: *with air of dawning realization* “Wait, are you a GROWN-UP?!”
Sister: “…”
Me: *ducks underwater to stop laughing*
