The "Asian squat"

Ethan's never been a squatter. I'd noticed it especially at school, all the other kids would be squatting, but E would be sitting on his butt.

I didn't assume it was a cultural thing, just figured Ethan didn't clearly understand what the teacher was telling them to do.

I didn't really give it much thought until we were at Ethan's bus stop one day last week and one of the Japanese moms looks at Ethan (who was squatting) and said "He's really becoming Japanese!" It's true, he squats all the time now, especially when he's waiting for something. It got me thinking about it, so of course I Googled it, and apparently it's a real thing. There's even a movie about it. Weird.
