    Who knows how it all plays out. My dad's side of the family is all over 6 feet. My mom's side is about 5'5" to 5'10". I'm 5'3".

    My hubby is 5'7", his whole side of the family us under about 5'10".

    Funny thing is, my kids are both very tall for their age, about 90th percentile. My 9 year old will be taller than me or at least as tall within a year, I'm guessing. Last year, their pediatrician did a forecast, based on past height/weight and current. My oldest is 'projected' to be 5'10" and my youngest is 'projected' to be 5'11". They obviously are not getting that height from myself or my husband.

    Men are different though. Women usually reach their full height by 14-15 years of age.

    I'm starting to feel like a munchkin... 5'7", 5'8", Tex's unspeakable height. Where are the shorter people here? I will confess, I always tell people I'm 5'4". For some reason, the extra inch makes me feel more superior, lol.

    At least that means your husband is taller, and that's fun, no?

    Of course, being as tall as I am, I'm pretty much taller than 99.99% of all women, and that seems to be appreciated.

    There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
