Redundant
A 6'6" person saying they were something other than tall as a kid is like a black guy saying he was white until he turned 18. What else could you have been even if you tried?
People would know a 6'6" person was always tall for their age as a kid without them having to explain it, the same way they would know a 4'10" person was always short for their age, even as a kid (unless they are one of those rare Guinness record books folks), so explaining it would be redundant.

Redundant
Somebody over 6'6" that feels the need to explain to other people that they were always tall for their age is like Danny DeVito trying to explain he was always short for his age. You hear about a midget who became a giant in the Guiness Book of World Records, but it's rare among most people. You don't hear somebody 4'10" say that they were tall for their age until they were about 7 or 8, then they felt like a midget after that. Most of the time if you see a spade, a spade is what it always was.
It's redundant to explain what is already visible and obvious, kind of like repeating something thousands of times.

Welcome
The bubbly girl was trying to offer and welcome people to somewhere and something that was never hers to offer or welcome anyone to, and never would be. She really thought she owned the place.

Welcome back
An arrogant thing for somebody not originally from a town to say to somebody that really is from the town.
It would be as arrogant and inflammatory for somebody not originally from California or New York to wecome somebody who really was from California or New York as it is for somebody not originally from a town to welcome somebody who really was originally from the town back to the town. When somebody is in their own home or town, they don't need a welcome back from anybody, and they never will.

Welcome back
A welcome is something you'll never need from anybody when you're home, in your own neighborhood, especially not from someone that isn't even from your neighborhood.
The outsiders were always the first ones to try to welcome back the guy to his own home and neighborhood for some reason. The people that were also from the neighborhood originally weren't overly curious or interested in what the guy was doing, they also weren't the ones always trying to change the neighborhood, that was mostly outsiders or newcomers doing that. Most people originally from there liked things the way they always had been, without needing them to change.

Self played
Played by yourself.
The bubbly girl tried to slowly drive so many people crazy that her own mental health ended up becoming questionable. She was self played, and had nobody left to play but herself.

Olympics
Thank god they are over, people watching/playing sports will now have about 2 weeks of no major sporting events/competitions, and they will get to actually enjoy summer for being summer. For the people watching/playing the NBA Finals past mid July with the Olympics starting the same week, it really was getting silly. The NBA Finals ended over a month before that just a few years ago, and they never needed to go further than mid June. It was nice to have a full summer of no major sporting events/finals/playoffs, just casual regular season baseball games.
It didn't help the Olympics that they came right after the NBA Finals. People like to get a little summer in to enjoy it without thinking about what sporting event/competition is next, since that starts to get silly at a certain point. Not everybody wants a summer filled with competition after competition, it gets dull and silly at the same time.
