Why Do People Squat When They Talk To A Kid?

[Workno]

Enter further question details here...

[LadyCG]

No, Zacs, I didn't need someone to tell me that but it goes without saying that you're a far better parent than I'll ever be.

Have a sniffy day...

[Peter Pedant]

Because looming over a child is intimidating and unfriendly.

and eye contact is on the level

( also rehearsed in the argy-bargy about police stops and the police gazing thro a window from a dominant position, and the driver looking up from a subjective position)

but really you know all this, didnt you

[Peter Pedant]

Girls ! Boys! you are adults and not er children
not even on AB !
ter daah

TTT 10.25 A little like Boris doing a rugby tackle on a 10 year old boy. eh!

[lankeela]

Do they? I am five foot and most kids are probably as tall if not taller than me anyway. Not that I talk to the little snot gobblers unless I can help it.

[LadyCG]

It's a full moon by the look of it...

[gulliver1]

Gosh there are some nasty people on this thread.
Some even still act like kids.

[LadyCG]

You should fit in nicely then, Gulliver.

Oh, and before you respond in your usual manner, it's LCG.

Why do people squat when they talk to a baby goat?
I've no idea.

[Hazlinny]

Ooh Barsel - behave - stop kidding! x

[Barsel]

Sorry Haz, I just have this thing about calling children kids. :-)

[Zacs-Master]

Blimey, someone’s touchy today.

[Barsel]

Zacs, why kid though?
Why not cub, joey, lamb, foal, calf etc.?

[Barsel]

He refers to his children as kindergartners as well.
Very strange.

[gulliver1]

CG.. If the cap fits wear it

[theshedman]

Barsel, at 12.43 same here.

[Workno]

The reason for “kid“ is because they are that exactly. A kid, or child.

[andres]

Lots of people call children 'kids'.
I have never ever squatted down in order to speak to a child.

[gulliver1]

Think the real reason most Aber's don't squat down is because they would have difficulty in getting back up again.

[LadyCG]

14:20 - every time you address me by the wrong name, I'll do the same to you. Comprendes?

//Blimey, someone’s touchy today.//

Never mind, Zacs. Perhaps you'll feel better in a couple of days when the full moon has passed.
