Plot: The younger sister’s physical prowess becomes an asset. She scares off bullies, carries the older sibling home after an injury, or uses her height to reach things. The narrator realizes it’s not a loss of status but a redefinition of care.

Plot: The older sibling documents milestones—first noticing the younger sister’s feet are as big as theirs, then that they see eye-to-eye, and finally, that she can lift the family’s heavy grocery bags without strain.

Example line: “I used to carry her on my shoulders. Now she carries the Christmas tree.”
