   How tall are you and how tall are your parents?
  I’m just curious. My Dad is 5’9”, My Mom is 4’11”, and I am 5’3”. Actually, I’m a smidge below 5’3”.   
  Mom 5'6", Dad 6'1", Me 6'2.5"   ;  5'11" and 3/4 (6 ft is what I tell everyone), and I'm 17My mom's 5'5", and my dad's 6'3"My mom's dad is pretty short(shorter than my little sister, poor guy), so I think I'm set up genetically to be shorter than my dad, unless I have a crazy growth spurt in my college years, which seems unlikely because I haven't grown much in a couple years. Oh, well.   ;Quote:Original post by Prinz Eugn5'11" and 3/4 (6 ft is what I tell everyone), and I'm 17My mom's 5'5", and my dad's 6'3"My mom's dad is pretty short(shorter than my little sister, poor guy), so I think I'm set up genetically to be shorter than my dad, unless I have a crazy growth spurt in my college years, which seems unlikely because I haven't grown much in a couple years. Oh, well.So the mother's father plays a big role in it? I think my mom's dad was 5'4" or 5'5".   ;  I don't know really, but it makes a vague sort of sense because half your genes come from your mothers side, and he's my closest male relative on that side, plus I'm trying to figure out why my dad's still quite a bit taller than me...   ;Quote:Original post by Prinz Eugnbut it makes a vague sort of sense because half your genes come from your mothers side, REAALLLYYY?  :DMy father is 6'2, mother is 5'7I am 6'5.
