My friend has adopted 4 children from Ethiopia and determining their age is difficult as they don’t have records. But then were talking 5-12 years old.
I knew a kid in 7th grade that was 6’-10” who would have been considered a grown man. Gave all of us regular size kids a bit of a complex in the locker room...
I can understand a small child from a dirt village not knowing his age -
I went to my nephew’s track meet Tuesday. There was a guy there who was 6-foot-plus and all muscle, looked like an ad for Bodybuilder.com. I thought he was a coach, until I saw him in one of the races.
There is no way anyone is going to convince me that a middle-schooler looks like that. Not unless there’s steroids involved.
