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.

@daydeeo I watched Hanah and she had to keep setting the milk down while she was bringing it in, and she had both of her hands wrapped around the curtain looking like she was straining to do so. And she wasn’t strong enough to lift it up to the counter so I had to do that for her. So how exactly is Hanah strong. A gallon of milk isn’t heavy at all

@Askawaytoday a gallon of milk weighs about 9 lbs. What dies Hanah weigh? 40 lbs? What if you carried 1/4 of your body weight from the car to the house? Would you consider yourself strong? Even if you had to set it down a couple of times? It's all relative, proportional.

@daydeeo hanah is about 50–60 pounds. Are you sure we’re talking about the same thing? A gallon of milk after me looking it up is only 8 pounds. That is not even remotely close to being heavy.
