Just about to turn the computer and TV off and go to bed, when the "don't treat your child like a crash test dummy" public service commercial came on. The one where they say that anyone under 4' 9" should be in a booster seat in the car.
My grandmother was well under 4' 9". My mother may have made it to 4' 9" right after washing her hair. I didn't get past 4' 9" until after college. I find that ad very annoying.

This reminds me of the time I was filling out the forms for a driver's license, and where it asked for height, I put 58", as in fifty-eight inches, as in four foot ten inches. When the license arrived, it said 5' 8". They laughed at me at the DMV when I pointed out that if a cop or bartender ever looked at it, they wouldn't believe it was me (no pictures on them in those days).
