Judy:

My grandmother was 4 feet 11. She had 10 children, (in italy), all between 10 and 15 lbs).

My mother was 5 feet tall, my uncles were all of 5 feet 2 and all my aunts were 5 feet tall.

Where the heck they got me (5 feet 7), I have no idea but growing up, I will always remember when we had company, and someone would walk into the room, they would gape at me and my mother would always say "I grow em big, don't I"???

That might account for the reason I once picked up my mother and put her on top of the refrigerator. I believe she made me mad. I must have been 18 years old and weighed a good 200 lbs at that time. She was screaming out for my father ,he came into the room, took one look at my mother sitting on top of the fridge yelling her head off, looked at me, and then said "what did your mother say this time"??

God, the things we remember.
