This arose from a discussion here at work
I have heard it said that boys are always taller than their mothers. None of us have seen a counter example, so we thought we'd post it here. Anybody? Is this true?

I and my 3 brothers are taller than our mother.

 I wondered if you weren't being cute. Give your son another couple of years and then report back to us, okay?

I'm sure it's not "never" ; it's just highly unlikely. The vast majority of women who are taller than their husbands are only an inch or so taller. Since the height differential between the average man and the average woman is something like 6 inches, this means her male offspring are likely to be shorter for a man than she is for a woman, but still taller than she is, because they are likely to be taller for a man than their father is.
This woman's daighters will likely be shorter than she is.
