[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is rare for a boy to be shorter than his mother, but I am sure there were examples. My 14 year old, who was under the fifth percentile until around 5 will be passing me in height any day, we're exactly the same right now. [/quote] Well most women marry men who are taller than them. And men on average are 5.5 inches taller than women. So on average both the father and the mothers genes suggest a taller boy than mom on average. But obviously height varies from child to child which anyone can see by looking at siblings. So the OP is partially right but overstates the frequency. [/quote]
