      He gets measured and weighed.

      Height length width and weight

    Funny and factually correct.

  About the time they start walking.
  Once they’re standing up, they’re tall.
  While they’re still laying down, they’re long.

  And at what age do boys start to measure length again?

  ??? not a joke answer - what is the difference between length and height?

    Orientation.

      I guess that answers it then - when humans start walking instead of crawling

      So the answer is “if/when they come out”?

  As a man, I don’t believe I’ve ever stopped measuring by length.

    I have dick like a baby, 10-pounds of dangling fury.

      I’m just imagining a grown man standing there, then you takes off your towel, and instead of a dick, you have a conjoined infant baby dangling from your crotch. Attatched by the head to your crotch. Clearly only aged until age 3 months old, meanwhile the adult half of you is 34 years old.

      Scientists can’t figure out if they love or hate you.

  The same time you stop measuring age in months.

  they are the same thing, this is just a matter of when they are able to stand up to measure them while standing vs while lying, I think

  It depends… length of what part?
