We just drew the short stick with our Norwegian genes. At 5’4” my mom and I are much taller than all the other women on that side of the family. Don’t know where she got her height, her mom and aunts were all barely 5’ tall.
Drawing the short stick - - Norwegian genes -
Our 4 daughters - with the Norwegian and Scottish genes, range from five feet two, to five feet five. Dad is five foot 10, and Mom, five feet!
I don’t think we can account that much by looking at our ancestors - ?
Altho I think 2 of our grandchildren - 13 and 17, will be tall because it looks like it already, with their Dad’s very tall side, and ‘other’ grandmother’s (tallish) Norwegian ancestry, come to think of it!
Then there’s the occasional kid who comes in on the short side of tall parents - !
Shall we talk about weight - - ???! nah!
