Oh No

"Time to measure!!" I squealed, jumping with joy. "How much have I grown?" I asked my mom. The smile on my rosy cheeks was stretching so wide I thought they would burst. A look of shock crossed my moms face as disbelief crawled into her eyes. "What?" I said, tilting my head, the broad grin gone. " Jessie," mom muttered, " you've grown 2 1/2 inches." " What???" I gasped. All happiness drained out of me. "How did this happen?!!" I thought. I suddenly didn't want to grow up.
