Either that's a child or it proves Mom was right when she said that coffee will stunt your growth.
Personally I think Mom just thought it wasn't proper for kids to drink coffee, that and she had her hands full as it was without us being boosted with caffeine (or sugar). If she knew of something that would have slowed my growth when I was a kid she would have been forcing it down my
throat, she couldn't keep me in shoes or clothes at the rate I was growing, both up and out. I was what the doctor called, "
a husky kid", "big boned" and "he's going to be a football player", in other words I was fat.....
