I'm the oldest sibling; after me, it's boy, girl, boy, so in our nuclear family, my sister was the only girl. Obviously, she had to be tough. Now, granted, I'm deceptively lightweight, but as a kid, she could give me piggyback rides when she was quite a bit lighter than me. I'm 10 years older than she is, and she started doing this pretty early. As a teenager, she surpassed my weight at some point, which made lifting me even easier for her (I'm the lightest one of the bunch), but she's still about 6 inches shorter than me.
She always did farm work right along with the boys, and it was obvious that she was stronger than average. In high school, the only student in her class who could do more sit-ups than her was a super athletic guy who was planning on joining the military. And that's crazy because she's never really made an effort to work out - you know, outside of PE, farm stuff, and goofing off with us. It's funny because on the one hand, she needs help opening jars and stuff like that, so her arms aren't as strong as a guy's, but when it comes to squats or piggybacks (for distance), it's her all the way.
