You're thinking WWF dude, in real life it sounds like you have a great bod for wrestling. Coaches love the tall lean kids because they usually have long arms and that helps with cradles and other moves like that. I think the upper weight classes go something like 189 pounds then 215 pounds, then heavyweights. So, yeah, there are some kids in high school bigger than you two! And they wear 2X or 3X, but my son who wrestles at 112 pounds, likes to wear XL tshirts. Of course, they also look like dresses on him, but we won't tell him that, OK?

You don't wanna know what I was thinking when I first read this

Ummm. Maybe I never explained myself properly. I was thinking that that's one wrestling team I definitely DON'T want to mess with
You women-folk weren't thinking......
And by the way, I ordered my T-Shirt. Thanks for all the advice
I now have 4 weeks to wait apparently

I'll admit it! I have a dirty mind!
We have five kids at 215 pounds this year!
The two girls are a lot smaller though (varsity wrestling is a coed sport in our state).

You have FIVE kids?

NO! I have two little boys!
ONLY two little boys, two cats, one husband, and I wish I had a dog!
BUT our high school wrestling team has a couple of kids at 189 pounds, five of them at 215 pounds, and a couple of heavyweights. My "big" son wrestles at 112 pounds, and my younger son is only in fifth grade, but will probably wrestle at either 75 or 80 pounds in the leagues this spring.
I can't imagine having FIVE kids!
Good Lord, how would you ever keep up with the laundry???

*LOL*
My son has been on a growth spurt since he popped out and 7 years later isn't showing any signs of slowing down. My daughter is quite the opposite - she's a waif
I just get to thinking how our parents and grandparents were able to handle anything from 4 to 8 kids.

Yes, it is unimaginable to me! My great grandmother had SEVENTEEN children! None of them in multiples, either!
