Aaron was checking out the Growth Chart on the wall at my parents' house. It has been there since my sister and I were young. Aaron wanted to see how tall he was. He noticed the directions on the bottom of the chart - "Place 2 feet off the floor". He wanted to know how that was possible to measure yourself if your two feet were off the floor! I explained to him that it meant that the bottom of the grow chart was to be placed on the wall at the 2 feet level for the height to be measured accurately. Sometimes learning to read can be too literal for a 5 year old!
