You have good tall genes then!
The Dutch are the tallest nation in the world, I believe. Your average Dutchman is a good three inches taller than your average Brit. Even the women are all about as tall as the British male.

I'm half dutch but got my grandma's short genes.

*sniggers at 'good head' phrase*
Are you a bit of a short arse then? I somehow imagined you to be tall and thin. Don't know why.

I'm 5'4, which isn't that short I suppose,
but I'm the smallest in my family in height and stature.

You'll blend in!

I dated a Dutch girl briefly...
