Done this trick at restaurants. Kids under 3 eat free. My daughter was 3 until she was 7. She was small for her age.
I've got the opposite problem. My son has always been tall. He's 11 and he's 5'8". People have been looking at us sideways for years. I even have a shirt that says
DAD

that I wear it when we go to amusement parks.
Yeah same. All my kids are tall. I would be getting a lot more free meals and more, if they were short.
Feed your next one coffee or ritilin at an early age. Helps stunt growth and saves you money.
Might break even with the cost of ritilin these days
Same. My oldest was taller than most 6yos when they were 4, and even today they're taller than most 12yos and they're 10...
My second child is normal size, so if they're together I can sometimes get away with sneaking them under the age limit.
