I'm tall compared to my Okinawan relatives! My mom is only 4'10"!

Maybe I've just always been freakishly tall.

Yes, she's standing. Yes, it was the mid-80s. Yes my glasses were huge. Yes, I'm wearing a shaker-knit sweater & collar. No, that's not dirt on my lip, my goatee chose to start growing when I was 13.
