Good ol' DNA.
Both your grandparents carry TALL and SHORT genes:
Your grandmother has TALL and SHORT genes.
Your grandfather has TALL and SHORT genes.
The possible combination would be: their children would be TALL/TALL or TALL/SHORT or TALL/SHORT or SHORT/SHORT.
I hope that clears up the big mystery.

that's just the luck of the draw when it comes to genes.
me and my mom are 5'3" my dad and brother are over 6'
my dads side of the family are mostly fat. moms side average build. me and my brother are both average.
some of my cousins are taller 5'9"+ others are the lower side of 5'
it's just genes and heredity.
