Actually, you arent the only irish-mexican mutt I've ever met. My two best friends when I live din Lubbock were the guys John and Steven, and while Steven was relatively tall(I finally outgrew him in height, he's prolly 5'8 to 5'10) his brother John was born with a couple birth defects that hindered his height by quite a bit. Problems with his ankles and wrists that took years of surgery to get right and working. That plus the coolest ingrown toe ever(no, not toenail, toe) that grew over another one of his toes. He had stacked toes. I was always a bit envious of it, but I wonder now if it ever hurt him. I may be remembering this entirely wrong, but I think he got leg lengthening surgery recently, which help adds to my Dad's theory that he had a very mild form of some kind of dwarfism. He's still taller than his dad ever was though, and his mom was taller than his dad. I've confused myself with this conversation.
