Just found out today that my dad predicted my adult height and managed to get within 1 centimetre of what it would actually be 🥹
#this is especially poignant because he never saw me as an adult. he died when i was 11#my mum met a chonky baby and was like ‘i bet you were bigger’ and was going through my baby book trying to find my weight at same age#(i was bigger but that’s not the point)#she found an algorithm in my dad’s handwriting which was him attempting to estimate my adult height based on how big i was at 16 weeks#plus my parents’ heights plus other factors#he predicted i’d be 185cm#just measured myself. i’m 184#honestly i fluctuate between 182 and 185 depending on time of day and how i stand#but it’s UNCANNY. science is crazy. or mathematics? idk#i just feel weirdly emotional that my dad had a mental image of me as an adult and it was pretty correct#personal
