Re: Tall or Short

My Son is over 6', guess he takes after my Dad as he was over 6' too, as is my brother, but late OH was only 5' 7" & his parents were short too.

Re: Tall or Short

I was 6' 2" and I reached that height as a schoolboy. My three sons are all well over 6' but now I can barely make 6' due to disc compression. Most boys grow taller than their fathers.

Re: Tall or Short

I was the smallest kid in the class all the way through school, but just like a small yappy dog I had the biggest mouth....I eventually ended up at 5' 8'' and still am. I weighed nine and a half stone when I left school and now weigh is ten and a half...It was me and the fat kid last to be chosen for the football, and I was so crap at cross country my mum would write me notes to be excused.....
I also visited the doctor as a lad and asked him if there was anything I could take to make me grow. His response was........Next!

Spare a thought for King Charles I, he was 5ft 3in at the start of his reign but only 4ft 2in at the end of it. You are a giant in comparison.
