Observation

So today while in my English class, sitting in my normal seat, front row in the middle, (I say that because this allowed me to observe what I did, not just to show I'm an attentive student) I noticed something that made me giggle (in my head.) Doing the very thing I was observing, I studied the people sitting in front of our class for our weekly "warm seat discussion." Four of the chosen students to argue were female, while the last sucker was a male. These four ladies all had their right leg crossed with their left hand tucked between their knees or thighs. Are you getting the image? I ask you this; why? Why do we do this? I know I do it, my roommates, and apparently most common people if ALL FOUR girls were doing it. I'm assuming it's a natural habit if my hand naturally slips between my knee without me thinking about it, but why? I don't know if I can speak for my male friends, I haven't had a lot of observation time, and most males cross their legs different from the female species. (And I'm not saying there is a wrong or a right way for legs to be crossed for males.) So next time your waiting in a doctor's office, restaurant, or other place where people sit, see if my observation is in compliance with my observation.
