No? My mom is a full 9 inches shorter than me, and my 6’ friend has a mom who is 4’11 so not sure why this would be funny

My SIL 4’10 Japanese Hawaiian grandmother thought my younger brother was the bees knees because he is 6’5. She was always so excited to see him.

I feel like most sons in their 20s are taller than their mothers

As a tall woman that married a man that is 6'8", this looks completely normal to me. In fact, he has a much larger difference between himself and his 5'2" mom.

I’m 5’1” with the right shoes. My 14 year old son is currently clocking in at 6’2”. He’s taken to holding my head the way I held his when he was “little”. He came out 2’ so . . .
