While I haven't been noticing pituitaries or giants recently, I did just read the article about Baader-Meinhof earlier this afternoon - I had never (to my knowledge) heard (or read) the term before - although of course I had often experienced the effects - and now an hour or two later here I read it three or four times!

Today he is a healthy 6'5" 37 year old who still weighs what he did at age 18. He still has a huge appetite, and I'm glad I don't have to feed him anymore. He took alot of ribbing all his life about his height and his appetite, but he never took it seriously. He and his father are the only 2 people in the family who are tall. The rest of us are all under 5'6". ..DI article. Thanks."</span></p><p>A 4ft 1 year old?! And I thought regular sized kids could be difficult. How did you take him places?
