Despite my slight stature, I am the female giant in my family. My mom is 5'1 and my sister claims to be 5' even, but I think she's really about 4'11.
I'm 5'6", and have also been this tall since I was 11. The sad part is that my (much) older brother was also 5'6" - but he's lost an inch from rock climbing! That had to be sooo embarrassing for him!

Funny story: my mother-out-law was short (all the outlaws were short), and my ex once said, "My mama is only 4'6" - that's only an inch over a legal midget." I said, "What does that make her, an illegal midget?" He didn't find that a bit funny!
