Positions


How many different positions can you think of?
Positions of  what? Body positions, you mean?
Yah. You know, like standing 1, sitting, lying.
Well, even those you mentioned have different positions.
Yah. Like standing or sitting up straight or slouched, or lying flat on one’s back.
And there is kneeling and crawling.
Jumping and hopping 3 are sort of positions, but not really.
Why not?
Because I always think of positions as fixed 4 for a period of time, you know, longer than a jump or a hop 2.
Yah, ok. So what other body positions are there?
How about the kowtow? I know it’s a sort of kneeling position.
But it still counts, yah?
Ok, squatting 5 that’s another position.
And bowing and curtsying are also positions.
Upside down and back to front, they count too.
Inside out is also a position, but I can’t imagine it as a body position, can you?
