Further support for the idea that size in children is not a particularly good indicator of age. My youngest daughter (16) has for some years been considerably bigger than the next oldest (18) and both are resigned to most people reversing their age order.
Friends who have children of both sexes tell me that girls are often bigger than boys of the same age until puberty, when boys tend -- like Prue's son -- to shoot ahead.
I have always assumed that John and Nancy were of an age; likewise Susan and Peggy. However, I'm enjoying the ongoing arguments.
