When you are announcing the birth of your child to the world on Facebook (or anywhere, really) be sure to note that your baby was 6'12" instead of 6 lbs 12 oz.
I saw this posted this morning (not only on the proud papa's status, but also the proud aunt's and proud gramma's) and immediately wondered how someone gave birth to such a GIANT of a baby. Then for another brief moment I wondered why they didn't just say the baby was seven feet. Finally it actually dawned on me what they were intending to say. Maybe I'm knit-picky? Maybe I'm dense? Perhaps and perhaps. But I seriously did feel confused for a few seconds.
Bet you thought my next post after an 11 day hiatus would be a bit more interesting, eh? The posts in my head have been. However, BB will be waking up shortly and this was on my mind at this precise moment.

I read this and laughed! I could have sworn that my BFF was writing this...she gets weird about things like that too :-) xo
I'm certain your BFF must be a fantastic person! ;o) xo
I can absolutely identify! Those little things bother me, too...I have to refrain myself from not sending an e-mail and correcting the mistakes. :) Don't get me started on spelling mistakes, too....
Ah, Emilie! I like you more and more each day! :)
