Why I'm Short

[dalebert]

It's my brother's fault! 



Having an older sibling, particularly a brother, can stunt growth, work suggests.

Experts said the condition of the womb after the first pregnancy may be a factor.

I'm 6'7". My brother 4 years younger is 6'5". My brother 11 years younger is 6'3". Might be something to this research.

Dale -- sounds like we need to start an SPU group for short people so we can preserve their rights!!!!!!!!!!


Short People Unite!

Fascinating.

[Insurgent]

Interesting! I'd never given this any thought before, but my older brother is 2" taller than me.

[TackleTheWorld]

It's not always true, Facilitator is the third child, but the tallest.

Wow, Ben Affleck's brother looks like that actor Rob Lowe, I think that's his name.

Okay my list is pretty short, (get it, short  ):

My brother is 5.8
My sister (twin but 10 minutes older than me) is 5.2
I am 5.6

Looks like my sissy should have waited the 10 minutes and let me get out first!

5'7"

5'7"

Don't cry, that's not too short.  Rick is 5'8", I think it's a nice height!

[Rosie the Riveter]

I'm short (almost 5.2), but loud.

I am the oldest, the shortest, and the loudest.

[CNHT]

Didn't work in my family either..


I'm the oldest at 5'7"
Brother is 6'4"
Sister is 5'6"
Brother is 5'8"

My mom is only 5'2" but at 86 is still 'cute'.
In high school it used to drive me insane when guys would say, I didn't come here to see you, I came to see your mom! LOL

[Rosie the Riveter]

I can relate my mom is a very young, almost 60 year old, total hottie. She runs miles and works-out every day and has a boyfriend that is younger than my husband. Talk about cool and weird all at the same time 

My guy friends still say they come to family parties just see her.
