I'm a handy pocket-sized 5' 1". I know a couple, Greer and Dave, who are respectively 4' 10' and 6' 3" (or thereabouts). I keep expecting to see him tuck her under his arm like a bag, and walk away.
Hubby is 6' 2". My eight year old son I have not measured of late, but he is up to my ear and gronwing quickly, so I just don't stand next to him too often.
Thanks for the link, Ptolemy. It was ..... interesting.

I'm 5'9" tall and hubby is just a hair under 6'. Works out nicely for us.
My siblings are odd:
1 brother is 6'4" and has a 25" waist (can you say STRINGBEAN?!)long thighs/short calves
1 brother is 5'7" and has a 25" waist (still skinny) just short
1 brother was 6'2" and had a 30" waist (skinny but getting better)long thighs/short calves
1 brother is 6'3" and has a 32" waist (skinny but has a tiny belly) long thighs/short calves
1 sister is 5'11" and trim but not anorexic looking - long thighs/normal calves
1 sister is 5'6" and slightly pudgy - long legs/no torso
then there's me 5'9" and built like an Amazon on steroids-balanced torso but long thighs/short calves...I'm in shape...round is a shape, right?
my mom was 5' 1" tall on a good day and my dad was 6'3" but had short legs
I take after my mom's mom's side...short fat little Irish/Swiss people combined with my dad's height.
Yes, AAc, round is a shape. It's definately a shape. And a very good shape it is, too. And so is round with little extra bulgy bits. That's a VERY good shape.
I'm 5'7", but most of that is leg. I wear extra long trousers and petite-fitting jackets. Until I put on some weight, I looked like an improbable kind of dolly peg.
