Looks like you forfeited by now since the code shown to me is the top voted one and I cannot find a solution of yours.
But I assume that you used some global variables somewhere, e.g. a "recursion counter" or something.

I'm getting weird results, trying a recursive function with javascript:

expected 'I am very very very very very very very very happy and I am big and I am tall' to equal 'I am very very very very happy and I am very very very very very very very big and I am very very very very very tall'

idk what to do!
