growth/height on birthdays

[figwit]

do people grow more around their actual birthdays??
it was my friends birthday on easter sunday.
I saw him friday,(couple days ago) and he is normally about an inch and a half shorter than me, I am 5' 7'' and he is 5' 5 1/2, I havent seen him since. But my other best friend has, she saw him on sunday, (his birthday) and she says he must have grown in those two days, because suddenly he's taller than her! (she is 5' 6'') that must mean either as tall as me, or taller!

is this possible? do people normally grow more around their birthdays? or is my friend just imagining things?

Your height changes substantially during the day. I think you shrink, maybe by up to 2 inches. Could just have coincided the 'right' way with the measurements you took.
