I bet Sam is a criss-cross-applesauce kind of guy

Some people have told me that I sit in a peculiar fashion. I honestly don't get why everyone doesn't enjoy pulling both knees up to their chest and leaning forward in a chair on their heels, often not even realizing that they're doing it. In the second grade, this got me in trouble when my teacher thought I was going to fall out of my chair at lunch time and hurt myself. To be fair, she was half right as I had fallen a few times that year already without doing any serious harm. However, when she told me to “sit normally,” my mom went to bat for me and told everyone to back off. I remember her saying, “If he’s comfy sitting that way just let him do it! He’s not hurting anyone!” Thanks mom! Fifteen years later, I’ve fallen asleep on planes and buses, watched movies, flowed debate rounds and eaten countless meals all sitting in this familiar fashion.

I believe that how a person sits can tell you a lot about them. In my case, I’m comfortable with who I am. That, and I’m small enough to curl up in a little ball wherever I am. How do you sit?
