Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid's heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

Well there's your problem: you've got a used kid. New kids are, on average, about 5'9" - plenty tall to compete with today's civilian tanks.

Donnie Wahlberg was a New kid on the block????? Wow. I had no idea!

I'm used to the normal transition between toddler pupae to child-like human. That's when I though children were brand spanking new.

You know Mark Walberg was in a funky bunch right?

We're gonna need their average size at 10yos.

If we need a bigger sample size, I'm open to pulling in Backstreet Boys, and Nsync
