Would you have preferred if humans "gained/lost height" instead of weight?

How would that work? Would bones be telescopic or something? If so, literally everyone over the age of 5 would probably be paralyzed with arthritis.

I'm one of the short people at 5'2". The maternal side of the family all ran to very short; MOF, I'm one of the taller ones compared to the preceding generation. I was taller than my mother and her siblings. My children didn't get that gene. The tallest is 6'2" and the shortest is 5'10".

As I age, I find that reaching for the iron in the chimney closet is becoming more of a stretch. I suppose I'm shrinking a tad, even though I eat like crazy. 'twould be nice, not to gain but at least maintain my height by eating an extra meal. As it is, I'll just give up ironing.
