You do the maths
Size: Australian sizing is different, so in this slot I get to put a number which is 8 numbers higher than my size in the US. That’s not that very cool.
Shoe size: Strangely, pretty much the same as US sizing.
Bust: Waist: Hips: Right! Like I’m going to post my measurements on the blog. But know that I was having to calculate these measurements into centimeters. And by calculate, I mean plugging the numbers in to the converter on my cell phone and letting it do the maths. That’s right, the Australians say maths. The reasoning is that “mathematics” is a plural and hence maths. Nevermind that when talking about rugby, footie and netball they say they are talking about sport. Anyway, back to my measurement maths. So, I get to the height section and I was pretty excited about writing down a massive amount of centimeters, and then there on the sheet all parenthetically it said,
height (feet & inches) ______ .
Just when I thought this maths would be fun. Ah well, I did get to put a whopping 86 in the bust section. Holla.

Does this mean that if we do an Australian play in Fort Worth the sets are going to be proportionately larger? And would that trump the “everything is larger in Texas” with “all the numbers are bigger in Australia”?!

I still think perhaps the nappie numbers would be bigger in Texas. It’s true, everything is bigger there…especially what goes inside a nappie. I can say this because I was born in Texas. I wore very large nappies.
