We've actually had some shrinkage in my family. I'm somewhere between 5'8" and 5'9", my grandmother was 5'10", and she had aunts who were about 6'. Her father was 6'4". Tall. Especially considering the time.

03-01) 14:04 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --
In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, risk lives in New Orleans' Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage of the briefings.
Bush didn't ask a single question during the final government-wide briefing the day before Katrina struck on Aug. 29 but assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: "We are fully prepared."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of the things that surprised me about moving to Detroit was how much more confusing it was to go shopping with short people. Of my 9 relatives there, two of them were visible above racks of clothing in the store.
The extra yelling. The extra wandering. Highly inefficient.
My sister is a skosh shorter than me. My mother an inch or so taller. My father technically taller than my mother by an inch when she's in barefeet.
You can't cut off one of our heads in a photograph with any ease. All or nothing, baby.

Okay, interesting demographic note -- short Jamaicans settle in Detroit. Tall ones only stay there temporarily.

Now we just need a good cutlery discussion.
