I have a sweater that my grandma got me when I was 7. It's purple with a handful of printed comic panels featuring Harry, a snow dog. It goes "Harry is a snow dog. Harry is a good dog." and you can see Harry doing snowboard and stuff.
I am 35 today. It's worn out a bit but still my dearest, most beloved pajama. It still fits, somehow
Are you a dwarf? XD
It was very baggy back then but today it fits perfectly. Great foresight on her part. Ah, grandmas...
W grandma
My mind is also reeling at the idea of something fitting you both at ages 7 and 35. I'm roughly 5/3 as tall as I was then and weigh about four times as much. Do you have a pituitary gland?
It's in there somewhere, let me take another look

Not quite that extreme but I'm older than they are and still have some clothes from when I was in 7th grade.
It's more plausible that someone stopped growing around that grade.
Growing taller maybe.
