at a quarter inch shy of 5'6", i'm the runt in the family. my sisters are all 2-3 inches taller than me...but i'm *happy* that i'm not them, lol (in fact, back in high school, i desperately wanted to be around 5'3", like the vast majority of my friends were).
yet, these days, i'm thankful for the tall gene...as although my husband is 5'7", our son is a tad over 6'.
