My two brothers are about 6'5" so I'm glad that I'm not any taller than I am. My mom was only 12 when she stopped growing in height so many people thought that she was older than she really was. I've always wanted to be shorter but being taller does help if you end up gaining a little weight because then it doesn't show as much.
Traci, you'd fit fine around me and my nieces, both of my older brother's girls are at least your height, I'm 5' 6" and Jenn, (Lady's Other Human) is about 5 7" I think, so you'd do fine with us! My friend Bonnie is 5' 10" and when she was drinking coffee at the age of 4, people always told her it would stunt her growth, to which she now replies "Thank heavens I did, or who KNOWS how tall I'd be!" It took me all the way past age 18 to reach my 5' 6", so I was not one who sprouted quickly like your mom!

There are folks of nearly every size and shape in our family, so being kinda in the middle, it depends who I hang out with whether I feel tall or short!
