In my family, most everyone stands tall in stature. My dad, my brother my sister, and I are all above average in height. Then, there is my mom. She stands at 5’4”, and in comparison to me and my brother, she looks like a midget.

No one really understands where we got our height from. While my is 6 feet tall, my brother and I are both 6’3”. With no previous tall people on either side of my family, and such a short mom, it truly is a wonder how we got so tall.

Her height is adorable. She’s so tiny compared to the rest of us. It makes me feel like a giant, abnormally tall, when I stand next to her. But I’m not, she’s simply short.
