See the form the mothers hand takes? Very peculiar. Her hand is *not* in a normal position to support the boy, should he lose his balance. Her hand is stiff and unnatural. The following picture - the kid standing on the rock - the mother is holding one of the boy's hands. The other is holding his wrist. Have you ever noticed the difference between holding a child's hand versus his wrist? Holding the wrist is a much more controlling, and less sensitive, way of handling a child. The following picture of the boy standing in a dress. Notice that he is *not* standing in a truly feminine pose? He looks like a boy dressed as a girl, not like a girl. His hands are clasped in a very exaggerated adult pose - one that you very rarely see a female child adopting spontaneously. The next picture - standing with backs to the camera. Notice how the boy's left hand is raised to meet his mother's? It is a very awkward position. This seems to indicate insecurity. Why does the boy seek such confirmation and assurance by touching his mother's hand in such a difficult and unnatural way? Also, the position of his body is strange. Something is wrong about the way he is standing relative to the mother. Look at the relative positions of their legs and feet. Something is wrong. And, in *none* of the pictures does the boy have a genuine smile. None. Something seems wrong in all this to me, maybe seriously wrong. But, that's just my "take". Funny, though, all this put together... |
