I have a sweater that my grandma got me when I was 7. It's purple with a handful of printed comic panels featuring Harry, a snow dog. It goes "Harry is a snow dog. Harry is a good dog." and you can see Harry doing snowboard and stuff.
I am 35 today. It's worn out a bit but still my dearest, most beloved pajama. It still fits, somehow
Are you a dwarf? XD
It was very baggy back then but today it fits perfectly. Great foresight on her part. Ah, grandmas...
My mind is also reeling at the idea of something fitting you both at ages 7 and 35. I'm roughly 5/3 as tall as I was then and weigh about four times as much. Do you have a pituitary gland?
It's in there somewhere, let me take another look
Not quite that extreme but I'm older than they are and still have some clothes from when I was in 7th grade.
It's more plausible that someone stopped growing around that grade.
Growing taller maybe.
The rest depends on lifestyle and metabolism
