Someone please explain how Hanah is strong? Or how Rylee is tall?

The other day my daughter Hanah was helping me get groceries out of the car, she comes out and flexes her arms telling me how strong she is. I watch her as she proceeds to reach into the car and grab the gallon of milk, from the minute she picked it up she struggled pretty significantly to carry it into the house. And she struggled even more putting it up on the table. I would have done it but she wanted to do it , so I let her. She was so proud after that. But if we’re being honest, a little gallon of milk isn’t heavy.

Today my daughter Rylee wanted to help us set the table. Rylee showed us that she wasn’t even strong enough to bring the plates over to the table, and when we gave her some silverware to put on the table, she wasn’t tall enough to even put them on the table. Yet here Rylee is claiming that she is really tall and did a really good job.

In your opinion, is Hannah strong? Is Rylee tall? How so? A little jug of milk is not heavy in the slightest and it’s not very hard to bring plates to the table.

@fun4us2b both of them are lower elementary. In your opinion do you think Hanah is strong?

@Askawaytoday Yes. A gallon of milk weighs about 9 lbs.

@daydeeo that’s my point exactly though. A gallon of milk isn’t even really close to heavy. Hanah wasn’t strong enough to lift it up to the counter, and before that When she was bringing it in the house she had both of her hands wrapped around the container and she Look like she was putting in all of her body weight as well. She also had to keep setting it on the ground and picking it back up. Would you say that she is strong when 9 pounds isn’t heavy.
