DOES AFFECT MY CONFIDENCE, ESPECIALLY WITH GUYS IN SCHOOL. I WOULD LIKE TO GO
TO PROM THIS YEAR, JUST BECAUSE MOST OF MY FRIENDS
ARE SENIORS, BUT THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN GO
IS IF A SENIOR ASKS ME. AND I'M WORRIED THAT NO GUY
WOULD WANT TO TAKE ME TO PROM. AAH! [ LAUGHS ] I GET MY HEIGHT FROM MY DAD, BUT MY FATHER AND I
DON'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP. HE LEFT WHEN I WAS 11,
AND I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE. I HIRED
A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR 'CAUSE I WANT TO FIND

EXPECTED ME TO MARRY SOMEONE WHO'S TALLER
AND BIGGER THAN ME. AND SO,
WHEN I BROUGHT BRYAN AROUND, MY DAD JOKED THAT
I WAS RUINING THE GENE POOL. WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME
EXACTLY? SPECIFICALLY, SIR, I'M ASKING FOR YOUR DAUGHTER'S
HAND IN MARRIAGE. CONDITION IS
THAT YOU GET TO PICK THE MONTH, I GET TO PICK THE YEAR, AND MY YEAR DOESN'T HAVE
A 5 OR 6 IN IT, SO THAT'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW

YOU'RE BLUSHING. [ VOCALIZING ] Ellen:

I COULD SHOW YOU. Gisele: I MEAN, IT'S HARD. IT'S DIFFICULT,

SHOP, AND I COULDN'T HELP HER. IN MY EXPERIENCE, NOTHING'S GONNA FIT HER
IN ANY TYPE OF STORE, ESPECIALLY T-SHIRTS
WITH HER ARMS THAT ARE SO LONG. IT'S NOT THAT SHE'S BIG. SHE'S JUST TALL AND LONG. AND YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING CUSTOM FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND IT WOULD COST EXTRA

I WAS A [BLEEP] GIRL. THEY SAID
YOU WERE GONNA BE A BOY, AND THEN YOUR SISTER WOULD TALK
TO YOU WHEN I WAS PREGNANT, WHEN I WAS, LIKE, THIS BIG,
'CAUSE YOU WERE SO HUGE. AND SURE ENOUGH, WHEN THEY PULLED YOU OUT
AND YOU WERE A GIRL, THERE WAS DEAD SILENCE
IN THAT OPERATING ROOM. AND THEN IT WAS, "OH, MY GOD.
HOW BIG IS SHE?" AND THEN THEY HAD TO RUN YOU OFF
TO WEIGH YOU AND ALL THAT STUFF. LINDSAY IS STILL MY BABY GIRL,
NO MATTER HOW TALL SHE GETS. WHEN SHE WAS 5,
SHE WAS ALREADY 5 FEET TALL. AND SHE WENT TO CLASS, AND THE FIRST-GRADE TEACHER
TOLD HER, "OH, HONEY,
YOU'RE IN THE WRONG CLASS. THIS IS FIRST GRADE." AND SHE WAS LIKE, "YEAH." THE TEACHER FELT SO HORRIBLY
BECAUSE SHE WAS TRYING TO GET LINDSAY TO GO
TO THE FOURTH-GRADE CLASS BECAUSE OF HER HEIGHT. COME ON. COME ON.
YOU WANT TO GET T.J.? NO. HE'S COMFORTABLE. HE NEEDS TO GO OUTSIDE. LOOK AT HIM. HE'S HAVING
AN ANEURYSM RIGHT NOW. NO, HE'S NOT.
HE'S SAYING -- HE GOES, "OH, MY GOD!
OH, MY GOD! YOU WANT ME TO GO OUTSIDE!" EXACTLY. HE'S GOT THE SHAKES. AND THEN HE'S SAYING,
"AND SHE'S GONNA PICK ME UP?" NO. [ LAUGHS ] LOOK AT THIS DOG. GO PICK HIM UP. TAKE HIM OUTSIDE.
PUT HIM OUTSIDE. SO SMALL. [ SMOOCHES ] TELL HIM "OUTSIDE."
T.J., OUTSIDE. AND YOU'RE FREE! THERE WE GO. Ellen: IT'S DEFINITELY DIFFICULT
BEING A SINGLE PARENT, BUT BEING A SINGLE PARENT
OF A 6'9" CHILD AND HAVING THAT CHILD BE A GIRL,
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT. LINDSAY WAS, I THINK, 6'7" AT 13 AND THEN 6'9"
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. BUT WE DID HAVE TO MAKE
CUSTOM CLOTHES. AND WE DID HAND-DELIVER
TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES SO THAT WE COULD MAKE
THAT EXTRA MONEY. THE CHALLENGE THERE IS THAT
THE CLOTHES AREN'T FASHIONABLE, AND THEN HER FEET -- YOU GOT TO CONSIDER HER FEET
WERE A SIZE 13 WHEN SHE WAS 13. AND SO THE ONLY THING THAT SHE
COULD REALLY WEAR ON HER FEET WERE SNEAKERS,
SO IT'S DIFFICULT. WHEN ARE YOU GONNA RAISE
THE CEILING FAN? WELL, YOU'RE NOT QUITE
THAT TALL. WELL,
IT'S LIKE A HELICOPTER. IT'S LIKE
[IMITATES HELICOPTER] DOES IT MAKE YOUR EARS
GO PFFF! IT'S LIKE WHFP,
WHFP, WHFP. AND THEN THERE'S ALWAYS
THIS SAFETY PRECAUTION. WELL, YOU KNOW, THOSE MOVE.
YOU CAN JUST. OH, OH.
THIS IS STRANGE. STOP. IT'S ALL COMING AT ME
TOO FAST. I CAN, LIKE, HEAR IT,
AND MY VOICE IS, LIKE, SHAKY. IT'S LIKE
[VOCALIZING] [ LAUGHS ] Ellen:
I HAVE ALWAYS TOLD HER THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE TALL.
THAT'S JUST LIFE. AND YOU CAN EITHER HATE YOURSELF
OR YOU CAN LOVE YOURSELF. IF YOU CHOOSE TO HATE YOURSELF,
YOUR LIFE WILL BE MISERABLE. BUT IF YOU CHOOSE
TO LOVE YOURSELF, THERE'S NO TELLING
WHAT YOU CAN DO. AND I BELIEVE SHE'S TAKEN
THOSE WORDS TO HEART, BECAUSE SHE'S JUST BEEN, LIKE,
"YOU KNOW, I'M TALL." I MEAN,
AND YOU CAN SEE IT IN HER. SHE'S GOT A GOOD PRIDE THERE. I FEEL LIKE IF I DON'T HAVE
THIS CLOSURE WITH MY DAD, IT'S GONNA RUIN MY RELATIONSHIPS
WITH MEN IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'RE READY FOR THAT. MAYBE YOU ARE. ♪♪ [ SCHOOL BELL RINGS ] YEAH, I'M EXCITED. Nancy: BEING TALL
AND GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL -- IT'S SCARY. BEING 6'9", I'VE OBVIOUSLY
STOOD OUT IN SCHOOL, BUT NOW THAT WE WON
THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, NOW AT SCHOOL,
EVERYONE KNOWS WHO I AM AND IT MAKES IT
EVEN HARDER TO HIDE. BECAUSE FROM THE BEGINNING,
I WASN'T CONFIDENT, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC. HEY, I ACTUALLY SAW
MATT'S PROJECT -- HIS VIDEO. Cami:
THE FIRST TIME I MET NANCY, I WAS ACTUALLY CHEERING
AT ONE OF HER BASKETBALL GAMES, AND IT WAS CRAZY. SO MANY PEOPLE
FROM ALL THESE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS COME TO SEE HER PLAY BECAUSE SHE IS THE TALLEST GIRL
IN TEXAS, BASICALLY. HEY, DID YOU FINISH YOUR ESSAY
LAST PERIOD? NO. NO, I FINISHED MINE
LAST NIGHT. NO. DIDN'T DO IT.
DIDN'T DO IT. BEING TALL
DOES AFFECT MY CONFIDENCE, ESPECIALLY WITH GUYS. I HAVE A CRUSH ON A SENIOR
WHO'S A LOT SHORTER THAN ME, AND IT MAKES IT REALLY DIFFICULT
TO TALK TO HIM. WE NEED TO LEARN
ALL ABOUT TEENAGE BEAUTY. YES, 'CAUSE MY EYEBROWS
NEED TO BE ON FLEEK. FOR -- FOR PROM. FOR REAL. DO Y'ALL KNOW
WHO Y'ALL ARE GOING WITH? NO.
NO ONE'S ASKED ME YET. SOMEONE GONNA ASK ME,
'CAUSE YOU KNOW I'M CUTE. [ LAUGHTER ] I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO PROM
THIS YEAR JUST BECAUSE MOST OF MY FRIENDS
ARE SENIORS, AND THE ONLY WAY I COULD GO IS IF A SENIOR ASKS ME
TO GO TO PROM. I MEAN, EVERYONE LOOKS FORWARD, GOING TO PROM
WITH THEIR FRIENDS, AND MINE HAPPEN TO BE
ALL SENIORS. WHO DO YOU WANT
TO ASK YOU? SHAY'S CUTE,
BUT HE'S JUST REALLY SHORT. CAN I YOU GET THAT BOOK
FOR ME? HE'S JUST REALLY SHORT. OKAY, GIRL, BUT HE CUTE. HE COULD BE
A LITTLE TALLER. OKAY, BUT HE CUTE, THOUGH.
SO, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? I THINK
YOU SHOULD GO FOR IT. UH... I'LL TALK TO HIM RIGHT NOW
IF YOU WANT ME TO. NO. NO,
IF YOU DO -- NO. I FEEL LIKE HE'S INTO YOU.
HE DOESN'T TALK TO ANYONE ELSE. I KIND OF HAVE A CRUSH ON SHAY,
AND IT'S JUST -- IF I WERE TO GO
WITH A SHORTER GUY, THAT'D BE REALLY AWKWARD FOR ME. SWEAR.
I'LL GO. I'LL GO. HE'S RIGHT THERE
RIGHT NOW. YEAH, HE'S ACTUALLY --
HE'S RIGHT THERE. SHAY! SHH.
IT'S THE LIBRARY. I DON'T CARE. [ CHUCKLES ] Shay: HOW Y'ALL DOING? HE'S LOOKING AT YOU,
GIRL. HE'S BLUSHING.
YOU'RE BLUSHING. THERE'S A REASON WHY I DON'T
TELL MY FRIENDS CERTAIN STUFF, ESPECIALLY JUMI. I KNOW IF I TELL HER SOMETHING, SHE'S JUST GONNA GO RUN
AND JUST BLURT IT OUT. HAVE YOU ASKED ANYONE
TO PROM? 'CAUSE A LITTLE BIRDIE -- A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME
SHE LIKES YOU. AND, YOU KNOW, SHE'S TRYING TO,
YOU KNOW, CAKE UP AT PROM. YOU KNOW,
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW... YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
TELL HIM THAT SHE LIKES HIM. YEAH, I -- LIKE I SAID,
A LITTLE BIRDIE. A LITTLE BIRDIE.
SO, WHO'S THIS LITTLE BIRDIE? SHE KIND OF
A BIG BIRDIE. [ LAUGHTER ] SHE'S NOT THAT LITTLE. Nancy:
THE EMBARRASSING THING IS, IS YOU NEVER KNOW -- WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOUR CRUSH
THAT YOU LIKE THEM, YOU KIND OF -- YOU WANT TO KNOW,
BUT THEN YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW, BECAUSE YOU'D BE EMBARRASSED IF THEY DON'T LIKE YOU
BUT YOU LIKE THEM. WHY ARE YOU TALKING
TO HIM? GIRL, I'M TRYING
TO GET HIM FOR YOU, GIRL. Nancy: FINGERS CROSSED
THAT I DO GET TO GO. I'M JUST NOT FEELING
REALLY CONFIDENT THAT I'LL BE ABLE TO GET TO GO. STOP! [ LAUGHTER ] SO, YOU READY
TO LOOK AT IT? READY? I DON'T THINK YOU'RE READY,
BUT ARE YOU READY? OH, MY GOD. ♪♪ OH, YOU WANT SOME... YEAH, SOME TREATS. [ SIGHS ] WHAT ARE THESE?
ARE THESE EASTER EGGS? THEY'RE A MIXTURE -- MALTED MILK CHOCOLATE
THINGIES AND -- CAN BO HAVE -- NO. NO. IT'S GOT CHOCOLATE.
NO CHOCOLATE. SO, YOU KNOW
HOW I WAS THINKING ABOUT, LIKE, HIRING
A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR TO KIND OF LOCATE
MY FATHER? YEAH, YEAH. UM, SO I'VE DONE THAT. OH, YEAH? WHEN LINDSAY TOLD ME SHE WAS
SEARCHING FOR HER FATHER, I WAS HOPING THAT
SHE WASN'T LETTING HERSELF IN FOR SOMETHING
THAT WOULD BE A LETDOWN, SOMETHING NEGATIVE IN HER LIFE. SHE HAS ENOUGH OF THAT. WHEN I MET UP WITH THE PRIVATE
INVESTIGATOR LAST WEEK, HE TOLD ME THAT MY FATHER WAS
IN A WHEELCHAIR AND THAT HE WAS
SUFFERING FROM, LIKE, GODFORSAKEN,
LIKE, ARTHRITIS, LIKE A PAIN. OKAY. SO, HE'S
WHEELCHAIR-BOUND NOW. AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN LIVING 30 MINUTES AWAY
THIS ENTIRE TIME. HE'S BEEN LIVING IN LODI
THE ENTIRE TIME. HE'S BEEN SO CLOSE. SO, IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW,
WHERE -- WHERE HAS HE BEEN? Ellen:
IT IS HARD FOR ME, AS HER MOM, TO WATCH HER GO INTO THIS
POTENTIALLY HARMFUL SITUATION WITH HER DAD. WHEN I MET UP WITH
THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR, HE TOLD ME THAT
I NEED TO GO OVER THIS -- IT'S VERY SENSITIVE
INFORMATION, AND I SHOULD GO OVER IT WITH SOMEONE
WHO'S EMOTIONALLY SUPPORTIVE AND SOMEBODY
THAT I TRUST. YEAH. 'CAUSE IT'LL BE
A VERY EMOTIONAL TIME. I COULD NOT TALK ABOUT THIS KIND
OF THING WITH ANY OTHER PERSON. MY MOTHER IS MY ANGEL, AND SHE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO DEAL WITH MY FATHER. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU PLAN
TO GET OUT OF THIS, THAT YOU HOPE TO GET
OUT OF THIS? I FEEL LIKE -- NOT PRESSURED
INTO BURYING THE HATCHET, BUT I FEEL LIKE, UM... I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO IN ORDER
TO REALLY MOVE ON WITH LIFE. SO, YOU WANT SOME CLOSURE? YEAH. I WAS THINKING ABOUT HAVING
A MEETING WITH HIM. I DON'T THINK LINDSAY'S REALLY
READY TO MEET HER FATHER YET, BECAUSE SHE HAS SUCH ANGER AND SHE DOESN'T HAVE GOOD
CONTROL OF THAT ANGER. SHE CAN GET TO A PLACE WHERE SHE'S JUST SO UPSET
THAT SHE DOESN'T SEE REASON. I MIGHT JUST LASH OUT. AND DONE IS DONE,
REMEMBER? BUT DONE
IS NOT DONE TO ME. WHEN YOU ARE MY FATHER AND YOU LIVE
30 MINUTES, 40 MINUTES AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE, HAVING SOMEBODY
THAT WAS THERE FOR ME THAT WAS AS TALL AS ME
AS I WAS WHEN I WAS 12... RIGHT. ...WOULD HAVE MADE
THE WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. AND YOU CAN'T EVEN
[BLEEP] TRY TO SAY HI? I KNOW. HE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
TO HELP YOU, BECAUSE HE WENT THROUGH
THOSE THINGS. I AM HOPING TO GET
SOME PEACE AND HAPPINESS OUT OF MEETING WITH MY FATHER. I AM HOPING TO LET GO
AND MOVE ON FROM A LOT OF THE RAGE
AND PAIN AND HURT THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED
OVER THE YEARS DUE TO HIS ABSENCE. I REALLY DON'T THINK
YOU'RE READY FOR THIS YET, BUT THESE BROWNIES
ARE READY FOR THE OVEN, SO WOULD YOU PUT THEM
IN THERE? YES, MOTHER. THANK YOU. BUT I WANT YOU
TO GO THROUGH THIS WITH ME. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL PUT THEM IN THE OVEN,
AND LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. OKAY. GO ON. Ellen: I DON'T THINK THIS WILL BE A FINAL POINT
OF CLOSURE FOR LINDSAY, BECAUSE SHE HAS
SO MANY DEEP-SEATED ISSUES WITH HER FATHER NOT BEING THERE. I THINK THAT EACH CHILD SHOULD
KNOW THEIR PARENTS, BUT I WORRY. AS A MOTHER, I WOULDN'T WANT
ANY OF MY CHILDREN TO GO THROUGH
THAT KIND OF PAIN AGAIN. LET'S TAKE A LOOK. OH, MY GOD. WHAT? WOW. Nancy:
NEXT TIME ON "MY GIANT LIFE"... SO, MOM AND DAD,
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE'RE DEFINITELY
GONNA BE LOOKING AT SOME LARGER COSTS
INVOLVED. Tay: BOTTOM LINE IS,
HER AGE, BEING 22 -- IT'S YOUNG. THAT'S WHAT
I'M WORRIED ABOUT. HEY, HEY! I JUST WANT EVERYONE
TO STOP REAL QUICK. NANCY BELL MULKEY... WOULD YOU LOVE
TO GO TO PROM WITH ME? SO, I'VE DECIDED TO GET UP
ON A PLANE TO FIND MY FATHER. I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY
ON THAT PLANE IS LIKE, "I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO
SIT NEXT TO HER." SO, HOW ARE
YOUR CONQUESTS GOING? WELL, I'M AT YOGA
WITH MY GAY FRIEND. DOES THAT ANSWER
YOUR QUESTION? HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT DOING
SOMETHING LIKE MATCHMAKER? RIGHT.
I'VE BEEN SET UP ON DATES. I HAVE NOT YET CONSIDERED
THE MATCHMAKING, THOUGH. HMM. Colleen: ONLINE DATING IS NOT WORKING FOR ME. MAYBE IT'S TIME TO DO
WHAT CHRIS AND MICHAEL SUGGEST. I'M GONNA FIND YOU
THE PERFECT MATCH. WE'RE GONNA GO ON A MANHUNT.
HOW'S THAT? SOUNDS GOOD. OH! EASY. OH, I'M GONNA BRING YOU
DOWN WITH ME. Haleigh: I THINK THAT MY DAD -- HE DOESN'T WANT ME
TO HAVE SOME OTHER GUY TO GO HOME TO AT NIGHT. HE ALWAYS WANTS IT TO BE HIM. SO, WHATEVER I FEEL,
IT'S THE WEDDING DAY AND I'M GETTING THIS GUT FEELING
AND IT'S KILLING ME INSIDE. I CAN STAND UP AND SAY,
"WE'RE GOING HOME." ABSOLUTELY. AND YOU'RE GOING HOME
WITH ME? YEAH.
