my moms puhhhh
this might be a dumb theory nuggets but hear me out

My Daddy is 161 cm 5'28 feet (if that maked sense im not used to american gooning units of measurement) and my Mommy is 154 cm so 5 feet.
YET IM AROUND 174 CM 5'9 AT 17.
i know im not tall, but hey i couldve been shorter wtf.

And i know that some gooners will come and reply with "Nutriton/sleep" matters but that alone doesent explain that jump imo.
so from what ive read and researched about height is that it isnt just "average of parents", its polygenic. like a lot of genes involved, not just one or two. so some traits might skip a generation or only show when compined in a certain way
(I provide the sources below btw)
also, mid parent height formulas are just averages anyway. they work on big groups, not on single people, so different results are obviously gonna exist
not saying that genes just spawn out of ur buthole, just that ur mommy and daddy pass down a bunch of genes and sometimes the combo comes out wrong and waaaay different. ig environment just decides how close u get to whatever height
i could be wrong idk my glamorous nuggets. anyone else here that have short parents and ended up so to speak tall? lmk im curious

it's not a theory, IT IS a family chain passed down, your mom and dads genetics are mostly picked up tho, small %'s for every other gen but they add up.

bro thats "basically what i meant multiple small effect genes stacking up mph just averages it out, but individual outcomes can drift pretty far. its just the thought that people in my family arent tall i would say im the 2nd tallest jfl

By any chance are you mixed race while your mom is white and dad is white too?
