Who is stronger?

Who is stronger? The big athletic 17-year old boy or his grandmother, 110 pounds, who must look straight up to talk to him? Which could pick up the other and hold him or her above the head? The boy is physically stronger. But let Grandma point an index finger in his face and he backs down. He can solve algebraic equations and explain the basics of calculus much quicker than she. But she can tell him what mattered from before he was born and can imagine further into the future than he. He has street smarts and can keep them both safe in seedier areas of town. She has world smarts to know the people in all areas of town are their relations.
