Inspiring, or worrying

[redbird]

minnehaha K. asked "Who is the strongest person in your family?" and after a moment's thought, I think it may be me.

I don't know whether this is encouraging--hey, look how tough I am!--or worrying, given what I know about the places where I'm not strong.

I suspect that if she'd asked on a different day, I'd have given a different answer.

I hardly expected to serious disturb anyone by asking.

It's hard to know which things will disturb whom. My family happens to be a disturbing one; most questions invoking it will produce unsettling trains of thought.

I don't object to being disturbed, you know. It's often very productive.

I should note that I'm thinking about this question in terms of the people I identify as family, which only loosely overlaps the category of blood relatives.

Ah. That does make a difference, yes.

That was my immediate assumption :-)

I can think of several members of my family who would nominate me for this dubious position, although I don't feel it myself at the moment. G is the physically strongest, I think, but my brother J comes close (cycling legs).
