shootin' up

I was on my computer, Maddie walked over to me.
Hey, Mom, you remember Daisy? She's my friend.
Yes, she's Riley's sister.
But one day I might be bigger than her.
You MIGHT.
Yeah, because I'm really shootin' up here.


Okay, so what Maddie said is funny enough alone, but coming from HER made it even funnier. Let's just put it this way...Maddie is plain old SHORT and grows as slow as molassas. (And if she's anything like her mother, she'll always be just that.)
