I have an uncle who’s 7’3." I can personally attest to seeing how cautionary such height can make them, having seen one incident. He says he has a number of scars on his head from accidentally ramming into various ceiling fixtures and low doorways.
My godson’s mother is “vertically challenged”, but her husband and father-in-law are over 6 feet tall. A salesperson once asked, looking at my 5-nothing friend and her not quite 6-foot 8th grader, if he was adopted.
I’m way smaller than Otis, but still taller than the height of many ceiling fans and light fixtures. I’ve had a lot of collisions with them. The worst are the ones that are just above eye level, but still low enough to chop the top of my head.
One summer I helped my father and brother put up a prefab tool shed in our backyard. I was almost a foot taller than both of them and was use to ducking under low doorways, on top of that, the dooway of the shed was low enough that I could see it whenever I turned to step out of the shed. For my brother and father the top of the door was just above their eye level so they didn’t notice it if they weren’t careful. I lost count of how many times the two of them ran into the door top that day we put up the shed.

Pop is small, mom is small. What were they taking in their youth that resulted in such giant offspring? I know it wasn’t the Flintstones Vitamins.

sadly, extra large folks don’t live as long as normal sized folks

All the women in my family are 5’5" and under, I’m 5’9" and take after my great-grandmother. It is weird when you look at family pictures.
