I had never heard “criss-cross applesauce” until I was well into adulthood. About the time I heard “indoor voice.” I mean, I never had kids, but I WAS one: we said cross-legged, or tailor-fashion. Maybe it’s a regional thing (North Jersey for me: “Everyone does it!” “If everyone were to jump of the George Washington bridge…” replies Mom).
Leaving aside what Marcus wants to prove or disprove or illumine with his poll, he should have anticipated the Dill Outlier. What else could anyone expect from Dill?!
(As almost always here, this made me laugh and brightened my day. Richard, we miss you so much!)

Beanbag chairs are pretty much made to fall over in, but falling off takes a special talent.

Personally, I always loved skewing the results. Or skewering them. Shish kebob is good too.

I used to sit on the floor “splay foot” too. Can’t do that anymore.

I can’t sit splay footed, but I can do a full lotus. I’ve never met anyone who could do both.
