Your sister Lily comes into the kitchen, smiling. She was 19, your older sister by only a year and a half, and had just completed her first year at college. You'd almost forgotten she was home, being that she just arrived yesterday. She sits across the table from you, pouring a bowl of cereal, and still smiling.
"So, what's got you so happy?" you wonder out loud.

It was obvious she had grown, but you weren't really aware by how much. You decide to ask. "When did this happen?... How much taller-" she once more speaks before you finish. You'd be annoyed if she didn't do it so frequently.
"It just happened last night. When I got out of bed something felt off, so I measured. It ends up I grew almost..."
