I've recently become intrigued by the fact that so many women walk around with their arms folded (crossed over their belly).
I can honestly say that I don't recall ever having seen that.

Granny Magda may have me pegged:

Maybe you should just quit staring at their boobs...

but I'm going out this afternoon to do some research. If I get arrested or slapped, it's your fault.

I rode off into the sunset, went all the way around the world and now I\'m back where I started.

Sharon (your avatar's Sharon Stone, yes?) is crossing her arms.
She isn't walking though.

When I was in high school, back in the Neolithic Age, girls used to carry their books cradled in both arms like a baby and boys carried theirs in one hand at their sides like a spear. (Not my imagery. I read about it somewhere.)
​
I don't know if they still do that (or even if they still use books) but I suppose it's a related phenomenon.

Maybe it does deal with instincts. Very interesting.
It occurs to me (finally) that the kids use backpacks nowadays. I bet Og the caveman came home one day carrying a deer over his shoulders and Mrs. Og figured that, with some modifications, that would be a good way of carrying a baby.

Life is like a Hot Wheels car. Sometimes it goes behind the couch and you can\'t find it.
