Given that she’s both the oldest and female, she’s almost certainly in for a disappointment. (Weird how the younger siblings are almost always taller than the eldest.)

Yep. My oldest sister is also the shortest in the family. I am the youngest, and the tallest. Being a guy, I passed both my sisters somewhere in our teens.

Funny how that happens because I’m 16 months younger than my brother and I’m an inch taller than he is. I’m also an inch taller than my dad.
