Have a friend that is 6’6”.
He got tired of people asking how tall he was.
Would answer “Not that tall only 5’18”.”
Some people would not get it.
And would reply “Gee, I thought you were over 6’”

Yep, lots of variation. Genetics is fascinating, as long as people remember it is no more ‘destiny’ than a zodiac sign.

It seems to be when dad is six four or so and mom is really tall that the kids hit really tall. There are tall people with short moms, but when mom is also tall it seems the chances of someone being 6-8 or so are much higher.
