Percentages

The other day I tried one of those height predictors. You put in your child's age, height, weight, gender, and then you put in the parents' heights. The prediction that came back for Ava was that she'd be 6'8" by age 18. I told Eric, and I read the fine print at the bottom of the results page. "There's a 50% chance that your child's height will be within .07 inches of this prediction, and a 90% chance that it will be within 1.7 inches".

Eric says, "And there's a 100% chance that I'm extremely freaked out by this!!"

Fortunately, I used a bunch of other predictors, and the answer was more often between 6' and 6'2" for her. Which is still too tall. I need to learn how to sew real fast....
