he wants to grow up

Kenny is so keen on growing up tall that he's sworn off chocolate milk, taken to eaten broccoli and brown rice, and knows that he shouldn't have too much cola. I've managed to talk him into an occasional chocolate milk, but he still wants me to measure him every morning, and he recites the foods that will make him tall and which will make him a "sumo-san" (fat).
