So, like, half a Smurf?

The Hello Kitty unit of measurement is recognized by all.
She also weighs three apples, and is a human -not a cat.
Me And my wife argued about this all the time. It took forever for her to realize she was arguing weight instead of height. 😂
the smurfs are three apples tall, she may have mixed them up
That is an interesting factoid. I always figured the top be 1 apple at least.
