Bloody hell

My son DoDo took my hand when we were crossing a dark road tonight, snd his engulfed mine. We lined up our hands to compare and every of his fingers was about 1 cm longer than mine. I should've expected this from the fact that his shoe size now exceeds mine, but this was the first direct experience of his growth. In his height competition, he's thus far overtaken his Granny, Aunty Mars, step-mum and Aunty Neez. Tonight, a fair measure in stocking feet had me a spare 5mm taller than DoDo. It won't be 6 months before he overtakes me, for sure. Bloody hell, it was but yesterday that he was born, all blue 52 cm of him, with a then tiny but furious fistful of fingers.
