It occurred to me, I have no idea what an age vs height chart looks like (linear? S-shape? fast-then-decay?) So I googled, and the top few hits look like, it's basically linear, slightly faster for the first few years, some sort of wobbly thing in mid-teens and then it levels off quite fast.

(Of course, that probably means it feels like people grow a lot faster as babies because a 1cm increase is a much bigger % increase.)

But that would mean, Zoe will have been catching up Bethany for a few years, then they'll basically be parallel for years. Whereas Bethany will be catching you up all the time.

We're sort of in that position now. Benedict and Colin and I all wear the same size tshirt. Andreas and Judith are almost in the same size clothes and can wear each other's clothes. But, Judith is smallish for her age and Andreas is big for his age and I think that makes a difference.
