oh, one of those. my dad's oldest sister is 5'; her first husband is 6'5" & her late second husband was 6'2". his late middle sister was 5'2" & her widower is 6'7" or something insane. my shortest cousin is 5'11". they make me (5'4") and my brother (5'6") feel miscast in a movie about giants.

hahaha i understood enough about genetics that i knew i'd never be tall. my brother rolled the dice and got my mom's genes—short men with olive skin so dark her dad used to get whispered about as "the Greek" (he was welsh & french?). this is a better combination in 2025 than 1955.
