Japanese girls sit that way quite a lot ā itās even called āOnna no ko zuwari (儳ć®ååŗ§ć)ā ā āgirlsā sitting positionā. Having said that ā some people blame it for the (so I gather) high incidence of bow-leggedness among Japanese girlsā¦
thatās a myth. Bow legs are genetic, not made. But back to Aliceās point. I was considered a funny kid, and I hated it. My parents and sister were always laughing at something I said and I didnāt know why. It did made me feel very self conscious. I recall many times not asking questions because I didnāt have the exact adult wording that wouldnāt make them laugh at me.
Not all kids can sit like that. I noticed at a young age that kids who could sit like that could not sit in full lotus position, and visa versa. I was a lotus kid.
Luckily, Peter intervened with this self-consciousness-generating thoughtless remark just before Aliceās toy car ran over that hapless doll lying there so forlornly!
As ever, Petey demonstrates why he is my hero and role-model, even though I am many multiples of his ageā¦.
