Big boned.
I am a parent and see lots of kids, especially twins and siblings and am always curious about how they can be so different bodywise.
For example, I know a set of twins who weigh exactly the same even though one eats far more than his brother. His parents tell me this but I also see the 'hungry one' eating all the time.
I also know 2 sisters age 6 and 8. The 6 year old is bigger boned, eats little and is heavier than her older sister who is skinny as a toothpick but eats more calories than many of the bigger and active boys in her class. Her sister is bigger boned and will have more weight issues later on in life, whereas the 8 year old will be able to eat whatever she wants (like her mother and grandmother) and never gain a pound.
