I get people asking me all the time if I was adopted. I'm a little under 5'3" . My father is 6'3" and my mother is 5'11". My 12 year old brother is 5'10" and 14 year old sister is 6'. I'm the oldest at 22. Its a little weird how short I am considering the height of my family. Anyone else have a similar situation?

    Well though my mom is short while my dad is of average height but my siblings are all tall & I'm the shortest among them. My brothers are 5'10 & my sister is 5'8 while I'm only a measely 5'2. I'm the oldest too.

    If they are your bio-parents, you are an anomaly.

    I am short from a short family, but my bio father was short, even though everyone in his family is tall. And I look a lot like his sister (everything except I'm not tall). It happens. I don't have contact with him, that's why I don't talk about them in more familiar terms.

    Most of my family is tall and blonde. I'm 5'3 with dark hair and I look a little like Ozzy Osbourne (when he was in Black Sabbath, not now). If I didn't look so much like my step sister (on my dad's side) I would think my mom had a fling with Ozzy and I was the result of that.

    You don't look like Ozzy, Amanda. you are much, much hotter. And easier to understand.

    My mom is 4'11. My grandma (claims to have been) 5'10 before she started shrinking in her old age, and now she's about 5'4, maybe 5'5; my grandpa is still about 6'. Then again, my mom is adopted.

    I'm 5'2, 5'3 on a really good day. My dad will tell you he was also once 5'10 but that's bull****, he's never been more than 5'6 at most and he's shrunk in his old age, too. My sister's 5' even.

    That's what all my friends say until they see a young photo of him and then they're like "Yeah, you kind of do... still hotter though." and I've never had a problem understanding anything he says, oddly enough.

    Yep. Well, I'm not REALLY short since I am 5'4", but my dad is like 6'1''-6'2'' and by mother is around 6 foot. My brother is also 6'2''. I'm the shortest/smallest in my immediate family and take after a couple of my aunts more than I do my parents in body shape/size.

    My mom is about 5'9" or 5'10", but she is kind of the only one from her side of the family who's taller lol Most of my family from my mom's side is short. My dad is kind of short - 5'6" or 5'7", but the height is also pretty short on his side, with some exceptions.

    I wasn't an exception, I'm 5'1".

    My Dad hovers around 5'10" and my Mom around 5'9". Mom's sis is over 6 ft. I am just barely 5 ft. And yes, they are my bio parents. I got my shortness from Grandma, which one I'm not sure because both were tiny.

    I'm the opposite, every woman in my family is around 5' (my mum is 4'11''!) and I'm 5'4'', making me a giant. Also, I'm the only one in the family with brown hair; my parents and sister have black hair, and my grandparents are gingers. Hmm....
