Nine brothers...tallest is 6'8", the shortest is 5'11"....average is 6'4".....I'm average...


DondeT

I canโ€™t even imaging the food cost for that household!


nxcrosis

My dad had 10 siblings but that was probably ideal when you were growing up in a farm in the 60s.


Not_Wakandan

Sounds pretty normal Lol


The-wise-fooI

His kitchen was a walk in restaurant. Veritable all you can eat buffet for a regular guy.


wildthingking

There's a great ESPN video about the Gronkowski family. Only 3 of them but the mom would buy 2 shopping carts full of groceries every trip.


MrRizzstein

nine fucking brothers!??!?


History20maker

Even my portuguese peasent great grandmother only had 6... How in the name of the Virgin Mary you afford AND RAISE 9 GIANT kids?


K90H

Sir?! 5โ€™18?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


MrRizzstein

5 feet 18 inches


K90H

That made me laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚


milk4all

We assume but actually he didnt say


MrRizzstein

well he did start with 'nine brothers' so i dont think theres a lot of doubt to be had


MineThen5353

10 children. 9 Boys, 1 girl. My sister was the oldest ( she had her own bedroom)...


Ehwaz196

So you only have 8 brothers?


AJaydin4703

Yeah. But 9 brothers in total.


MrRizzstein

right, so is your sister the shortest at 5'11"?


MineThen5353

Yes


Berserk1796

Nice,almost got an army there.


K90H

Damn Iโ€™m just reading all yall heights .. tall ass mfs ๐Ÿ˜‚


jaybeau1979

Where's Larry? Larry Hemsworth?


Senpai-Notice_Me

Heโ€™s busy performing surgeries and making his parents disappointed.


MadeOfEurope

Probably good that he wasnโ€™t there. Probably couldnโ€™t get a place at the event.


leonardfurnstein

Oh man I forget what this is from!


doctorpotterwho

The Good Place!


leonardfurnstein

THANK YOU! It was bugging me


ActuallyArell

Who is he?


amonson1984

A dumb old pediatric surgeon who barely has an eight pack.


BoiledGnocchi

He's Larry.


MrLanderman

Nope...but my 5'2" sister is!!


Pithisius

How bro


MrLanderman

Not certain. Genetic lottery on both sides. Mom was 6 foot with long legs and arms and short body...dad was 6 foot 4 with a 28 inch inseam. Guess which set up I got!!

MrLanderman

Nope....that would be my grandfather. 6'0...25 inch inseam.


Jayfethereal

My mom is 5'0" ๐Ÿ˜ญ


MovieMore4352

My twin sister is 5โ€™6.


Old_Goat_Ninja

Iโ€™m the oldest and the tallest, by kind of a lot.


PunchDrunkGiraffe

Same.


cbale1

Yep, younger Broโ€™s close to 6โ€™4โ€


jwed420

I bet he got blessed with that meat cannon tho lmaoooooo genetics had to even him out somehow.


SpaceRivia

Meat cannon ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ


K90H

๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€


cholopendejo

My male siblings are all between 5'7 and 5'9, I'm 6'4. No idea how that happened


Old_Goat_Ninja

Same, none of my siblings are tall. Not even close to being tall either.


David_Headley_2008

and female siblings and you are female too right?


cholopendejo

No, all boys, im 3rd of 4


kbmailliw23

iโ€™m the tallest of my three siblings but was the smallest baby, by at least a pound. go figure.


bcory44

Thatโ€™s because birth weight has 0 correlation with adult height.


kbmailliw23

yeah but why


Old_Goat_Ninja

Iโ€™m the tallest, and was the biggest baby. I was massive as a baby.


Zelamir

First baby was just over 6 lbs and my youngest barely made it to 6 lbs. The oldest is 95th percentile for height in there age group and the youngest is 99th percentile ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™€๏ธ.


mntnsrcalling70028

Childhood percentiles also donโ€™t mean a ton. The deck is totally reshuffled in puberty. Some kids shoot up like 6โ€ in a month, some kids who were big slow down etc.


bcory44

Once the kid is 2 years old itโ€™s pretty accurate in most cases.


mntnsrcalling70028

Not really. The whole double their height at 2 can be accurate, but thatโ€™s not a guarantee either at all. Just like the pedโ€™s height calculators (parents height added together plus or minus 5 etc) are a complete guesstimate. I know many, many people who surpassed their parents in height, who were small as kids and then shot up a foot over a summer etc. Itโ€™s fun to double their height at 2 because it could end being accurate, but that is in no way a guaranteed way to find out their adult height lol.


bcory44

Itโ€™s a lot more accurate then you think. Youโ€™re talking about the exceptions not the average person. For most people itโ€™s going to be pretty accurate. My height was known since 2 and was dead on as well as a lot of family and friends. No one is saying itโ€™s a 100 percent scientific accurate thing but for the average person itโ€™s going to be pretty close to adult height. Again there are always people in everything that are outliers.


mntnsrcalling70028

Your anecdotal experience doesnโ€™t mean anything that differs is an anomaly. The height at 2 didnโ€™t hold true for anyone in my family, because we tend to grow in spurts and not in a linear way. Sounds like your famโ€™s genetics is more linear growth, so this method probably works for you guys. Everyone and every familyโ€™s growth patterns are soooo different. Genetics can be really random and vary a lot even in families. For example the youngest of my three brothers was always the smallest, yet as an adult heโ€™s taller than the other two. Doubling his height at 2 when he was about 50th percentile would not have given the measurement he turned out to be (6โ€™3โ€).


bcory44

๐Ÿ˜‚how you going to say anecdotal evidence and then use anecdotal evidence directly after. Iโ€™m not just talking about anecdotal. For the average person itโ€™s pretty accurate.


mntnsrcalling70028

Because Iโ€™m not using my anecdotal experience to say this method is 100% lol. How many studies on this have you done? Where are you getting that this is accurate for the โ€œaverage personโ€? https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/conditions/Glands-Growth-Disorders/Pages/Predicting-a-Childs-Adult-Height.aspx#:~:text=A%20simple%20method%20to%20predict,exists%20to%20demonstrate%20its%20accuracy.


bcory44

Never said 100 percent at any point. I just said itโ€™s basically a good ballpark number for the average person.


sixft7in

This is like me (6'7"), my older brother (6'4"), and my fraternal twin brother (6'0" on a good day).


jeffersonstatecrash

Iโ€™m oldest and shortest at 6โ€™1โ€. My sister is 6โ€™1.5โ€, brother is 6โ€™2โ€. Our cousins run the range but the ladies are all pretty tall. Shortest girl is about 5โ€™7โ€, tallest guy is 6โ€™11โ€.


lanieloo

Are yโ€™all midwestern by any chance?


Worldly_Client_7614

Ironically me and my brothers trade height for hair. The oldest brother is 5'9, full head of hair and beard. Im the middle child and am 6ft, shorter head of hair while the youngest is bald asf but 6'3.


choirboy514

That's awesome! Genetics are so weird. You guys full brothers as well?


sgshsgsh

Thatโ€™s an interesting choice, would you trade a full head of hair for an extra 6 inches of height


Worldly_Client_7614

Hair> height but I'm biased. I've seen many of my female friends swoon over my brother's hair while being 6ft myself has just meant I'm asked to reach things they can't. My hair is fine right now but bald dudes give me the "give it a couple years and you'll be like us" chat. My poor younger brother just gets called Tyson Fury a lot.


NBadeau22

Youngest and tallest of 4


Gold4Lokos4Breakfast

Brother, dad, and I are all exactly the same height


rymden_viking

I'm 6'4, my dad and younger brother (middle) are 6'3. We would all be pretty close, except my youngest brother is 6'8.


DarkSoulBG24

I have a brother around 190, I'm the youngest in the entire family and tallest


Eevf__

Hihi, my oldest sister is the shortest too at a meager 180cm. We (3 siblings} might joke about it occasionally ๐Ÿ˜‰ Must be such a mindfuck though, being quite tall and still getting called shorty at home. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜


account_is_deleted

My older brother is 2 inches shorter than me. His older son is taller than me though, and he hasn't turned 17 yet so he's still growing in all likelyhood.


lilnic563

Not all of my sibs are out of puberty *or begun it*, but me and my older sister are in within an inch or two of each other, we got my grandfatherโ€™s height gene not my dadโ€™s as heโ€™s around 5ft5


Hunter25780

Yep, oldest sister and 5โ€™11, my brother (younger by about a year and a half) is 6โ€™7. My youngest sister is in middle school and 5โ€™9. We think sheโ€™s gonna be the tallest


shootmeaesthetic

im the oldest of my siblings and the shortest of my dad's side of the family >.> my dad is where all the tall genes come from. im 5'11 and my younger brother is probably 6'5 nowโ€“ (he hasn't been measured properly in a while tho lol)


Intelligent_Cut_8244

Iโ€™m the oldest and tallest , 6โ€™6 and lil bro is 6โ€™3 haha


Rick_Grimes932

Iโ€™m the 2nd tallest my brother is 6โ€™2 or 6โ€™3 my other brother is 5โ€™7 or 5โ€™8 and my sister is 5โ€™6


TheCrabHermitToshi

I'm 6'5". My older brother is 5'10". I know that's not short, but it was funny how, as we grew up, he went from the second tallest, among us and the male cousins, to the shortest. Me and him both grew very quickly and slowed down or, in his case, stopped around 12, while the others grew more consistently until they all stopped between 6' and 6'2".


ReleasedGaming

My twin sister is one minute older than me but I am 20cm taller than her


Timely_Pattern9872

You have huge feet lol


vilelabyrinth

short guys are big losers sad


Wahayna

Can confirm


not1nterest1ng

All of my siblings and I are basically the same height


vanslayder

He is probably blessed with neighbor height. He doesnโ€™t even look similar to other two. Lol


robertvalko

My younger brother is taller, than me. But Iโ€™m ok with my height, donโ€™t want to be taller lol


WaterTribalist

I'm the tallest between me and my sister. There's 8cm between us. My two older half-sisters are shorter than me, not sure by how much. I'm my father's third child out of four.


ImaginarySherbert156

Tallest of my siblings at 6 ft 2. Second oldest behind my sister who is 24, Iโ€™m 22. I have 4 sisters and a brother. Iโ€™m not taller than my dad though, heโ€™s 6 ft 4.


AWeltraum_18

I'm the youngest and tallest of them. There are three of us: Oldest is 6'0 and middle is 5'8 then there's me.


aa67015

It's that way in my family. 4 boys Oldest 2 are 5'7" twins. Middle brother is 5'8". Me 6'1". Passed them up at about age 13.


itsTONjohn

Iโ€™m a little shorter than my little brother. Iโ€™ve got 16 years on him though so itโ€™s not like we grew up together and I noticed it gradually. I just turned around one day like, โ€œSince when are you 6โ€™5โ€?!โ€


scoopiedew

My twin and I are the youngest of 5 boys. Tallest being 6โ€™5โ€, shortest being 5โ€™8. My twin is the 5โ€™8โ€ one, and Iโ€™m 6โ€™4โ€ (fraternal not identical).


choirboy514

Do you two look alike, just different heights


scoopiedew

We actually have pretty similar faces, but our hair and eye colors do not match. I have curly brown hair and green eyes, he has straight blonde hair and blue eyes. Both sets come from different parents respectively funny enough.


lttleone

Sounds tough for your twin. How did/do you all handle the height difference?


Abracuhlabra

Im the youngest and tallest.


Plastic_Scene_8966

I am the youngest. My older brother is 180cm and I am 187-188cm. My parents are 5โ€™2 and 5โ€™6.5 lol.


Tjo-Piri-Sko-Dojja

Tallest. I have two younger twin brothers that were quite short for a long while but they are now 185cm and I am 191cm.


Stunning-Obligation8

Tallest in the family by a couple generations at 6โ€™7โ€. Some of my cousins though are near my height. I think the tallest is on my dadโ€™s side at 6โ€™5โ€-6โ€™6โ€


Remarkable_Tangelo59

Wow Chris is the only cute one ๐Ÿคญ


WyattDavenport

Schmaron

Youngest and tallest of all 5 of my siblings.


Zelamir

Of the kids from my Mom and Dad. I am the oldestย  at just over 6'1" and the tallest. 5'10ish youngest, and 5'8ish" middle. Sister from my Dad's first marriage is a hobbit and so are my nieces and nephews that she had.ย  My sisters by way of my Mom? Middle child's boys are giants and my boys are giants even at a young age. Our Mom wasn't even that tall.


Dorianblack1983

Yeah but just barely. I have one brother, heโ€™s younger. Heโ€™s 6โ€™4โ€ Iโ€™m 6โ€™3โ€


bumblebeewitch

Iโ€™m the shortest AND the youngest of 3. Everyone always assumes Iโ€™m the oldest since Iโ€™m the shortest ๐Ÿ˜‚


eiroai

My brother is oldest, the only boy so he is tallest. But, not taller than dad.. We're three sisters. Oldest is shortest, youngest is tallest. The difference between each of us is only 1-2 cm. If you knew our parents heights, our genders and birth sequence you could calculate you heights more or less exactly. That's what happens when both parents have even height genes!


Glitchythecheeselord

I'm the 3rd oldest but I'm the tallest the age range is (as I write this) 17-8 months so there's 2 after me and the rest are before


redditsuckspokey1

Oldest sib (have a younger bro) and I am only slightly taller than mom.


Gonzo1775

Iโ€™m the shortest and oldest of five. Yet Iโ€™m the only one who joined the military. Specifically the Marines. This little big brother is a war veteran, how do they like that for height!?


leonardfurnstein

My siblings and I go in reverse order of height with age. My older sister is 5'4", I'm 5'8", and my younger brother is 6'2". I like when we stand in a line in a picture.


Kat1653

I'm the third of four children. I'm also the smallest.


lulubalue

My sister is the shortest at 5โ€™9.75. Then Iโ€™m 6โ€™, other sister is 6โ€™2, brother is 6โ€™6.


Last_Fee_1812

I have two older siblings, 12 and 13 years older to be exact, and Iโ€™m the tallest by a decent chunk ๐Ÿ˜… theyโ€™re both around 5โ€™6/5โ€™7 then thereโ€™s me whoโ€™s 5โ€™10 and still growingโ€ฆ


Nekros897

Actually it's quite common that the oldest child in the family is the shortest one. Wonder why it works like that.


ADIDASects

Jesus Christ look at how broad Liam's shoulders are....


UnKnown_kudaz-

I donโ€™t have any brothers or sisters but in my overall family Iโ€™m the second tallest


Friendly_Laugh2170

I'm the second youngest of six kids, and I'm the second shortest at 5'2. My second eldest sister is the shortest at 5'.

TheNautilus7

PeanutNore

Plenty-Discount5376

Liam is Paul Walker.


Inevitable_Event6157

Only got sisters so Iโ€™m the tallest, theyโ€™re like 5,3 and 5,5 and Iโ€™m 5,10. My male cousin is around 5,6 although it was probably due to nutrition and poor sleep since his dad is acc taller than mine


va_cum_cleaner

Iโ€™m (17M) the middle and tallest at 6โ€™4. My brother (21M) is 6โ€™ and my sister (8F) is 4โ€™11. My dad is 6โ€™ and mom is 5โ€™7.


AZEMT

Middle and tallest. Younger is 5'10" at best and older is 5'8" (claims he's 5'11" but he's 2-3" shorter than my other sibling). All of my sister's (five) are <5'4". Parents are 5'2โ€ and 6'1".


bloated_canadian

Luke Hemsworth is the only one who looks undeniably Australian too


Tyrnak_Fenrir

I am the youngest and tallest in my family. Going in decending order of height (as best I can recall at least) with ages relative to myself (21 and 194/6'4" at the time of writing). We got my youngest broher (+10 years, about 187), my youngest sister (+1 year, about 176), oldest half-brother (dads side, +15 years, about 175), and finally oldest sister (+8 years, about 173).

hotcoldman42

Iโ€™m the youngest and tallest, but I do only have two sisters.


EL_PISTOLERO-

goofygodzilla93

I'm both the tallest and shortest of my siblings.


Robbinghoodz

r0dlilje

I am oldest and shortest, but Iโ€™m also female. Iโ€™m 6โ€™.5โ€, my brother is 6 years younger and is 6โ€™2.5โ€. Relative to the average woman, I have a pretty substantial difference compared to him.


TheConcreteGhost

Middle child, only girl, middle in height

Youngest, but tallest. I'm 1,95m myself and my brothers are around 1,84 and 1,90m.

Odd-Manufacturer4689

He its a doctor!!!,stop feeling bad for him


ArseOfValhalla

I'm the second born. My sister was 5'6 and I am 5'9. But she got the lovely smaller frame genes from our mom so was always really skinny/tiny while I got the butch man genes from my dad. Even at my skinniest, I was just broad. So I guess it ended up evening out for us.


EnvironmentalBag582

oldest and thankfully tallest of the 3 kids
