Was she sitting on her heels with her big toes tucked like that? If so, that's a very Japanese way of sitting. Kids here sit that way by default or squat down in that asian squat that so many in the West have trouble doing. Interesting.
Anyway.
That was a nice sentence. I agree.
One of the things I learned as I got older was that almost no adult actually knows what they are doing. I mean, when we are kids we assume adults have it all figured out. They know everything. Then when we get older we realize that they were faking it all along, that they don't know any more than we do.
When I learned that I became more forgiving of my parents' mistakes in raising me. We do the best we can at any moment, but that is often far from the best action. You know what I mean?
Yep, this is the style. Though I thought it would change a bit as she got older. I have some other pictures of her with her toes like this :)
Fake it til you make it - more like, fake it til you die and hope that no one noticed.
I know what you mean. I don't blame my parents for it - I knew it as a child that they had other stuff in their lives going on. As a result, I became very independent, but that isn't always a good thing.
