Yes.
Due to the difference in nutrition, I (who grew more than half my life here in the U. S.) am taller than both my parents (who grew to full adult-size back in the Philippines). Actually, while I am still considered short for a male at 5ft8in/173cm here in the U. S., I was surprised to find myself taller than my fellow Filipino back in the PH with an average male height of 5ft4in/163cm.
This goes to show that 'short' or 'tall' are subjective, relative terms, completely dependent on specific subjects of comparison. Meanwhile, standardized units of measurement are absolute.
I’m taller than my biological parents, but sadly my stepdad is a few inches taller and stronger, and makes me fear getting into fights with him as he is capable of throwing me around the place. If I was raised by my mom and biological dad, I’d be able to crush them both during fits of anger 😅
I was always the tallest girl in my classes up until first year of high school. My dad is pretty tall and my mom is like average. I’ve stopped growing and I’m shorter than both of them lol. They talk about it almost everyday and they’d say that it’s cuz I don’t get enough sleep so I don’t grow as much 🤷🏻♀️
Yea I’m taller than my mom who is 5’3, I’m 5’9 and my dad is about 6’0 but sometimes I feel like me and him are the same height lol

I'm 5'0. My mom is 5'4 and my dad was 5'5. My dad's sisters were 4'8 and 4'10.
It’s honestly hard not to be taller than your parents. My grandparents generation were so poorly nourished during The Great Depression and WWII, and my mother said being the height of 5’7” was considered exceptionally tall in the early 70’s. Of course, they really didn’t know a lot about vitamins and health food back then either. I’ll tell you another anecdote, some actors tried to fit into used World War II uniforms for a film. Not one of the actors could fit into the uniforms because they weren’t skinny enough, and too tall. You can see viruses evolve under a microscope, which proves evolution on a micro scale. Evolution on a macro scale is harder to prove, but if we’re taller, and more bulky than our parents, or grandparents from WWII, then that’s an example of evolution on a macro scale.
I'm a little short for a guy, I'm 3'6" while my mum is 3'7" and my dad 3'8". Here's a pic of me and my family growing up, promise not to laugh!
