how high

 

Someone will be going to the ball, or at least her eighteenth birthday party, in heels she has worked so many hours in Boots (how apt) to buy. (I've never thought that the answer to 'how high are your shoes?' might be 'three nail varnishes high'.)

[Although I am tall with large feet, height and foot genes are distributed quite randomly in our family. One nearly 18 year old twin is is 6'2" with size 11 feet, the other is 5'3", with size 5 feet.]
