Kneeling is not a very common activity nowadays, so the fact that
it has an irregular past tense just doesn't come up often.
That's probably why it's dying.
Kneeling is as common as it's always been.
In what sense of 'common'? I hope you're not saying you don't
approve.

The 'usual' sense. I definitely approve of kneeling. I would lose my
fans if I didn't approve of them kneeling at my feet.

Add grandparents. Just a bit ago I kneeled to put young Nicolai's
shoes on. Putting shoes on a 16-month-old is like putting a
pumpkin in your watchpocket. A squirming pumpkin.
Sit down and sit him on your lap, facing away, then as he tries to
kick and straightens his leg, you can pull the shoe on.
That would probably work, but young Nicolai suckers me in. He stands |
there looking all cute and docile, lifts one foot in apparent
cooperation, and then gets as skittish as a wild mustang just as the
shoe starts on.
I am convinced that this is a deliberate game on Nicolai's part. Say
"Get your shoes. We're going outside." and Nicolai will run and get
his shoes. He *wants* to go outside. He knows there are swings and
bugs and dirty things he can slip into his mouth outside. He knows
that Grampa will let him go down the big slide and be there to catch
him and roll in the wood chips at the base. Outside is good.
He knows the squirming will make Grampa laugh and wrestle with him.
He's not all that fond of shoes, but I think he does enjoy the ritual. |

When these conventions were evolved, failure to dip the colours might
be taken as a signal of hostile intent.

Sounds like one of those things similar to "no one's head can be
higher than the king's".

Genuflecting is a whole nother subject. Back when everything was
practically on top of each other, there wasn't that much apparent
confusion about what anyone was genuflecting to. Now things are
spread around a little, and they've thrown in bowing into the mix,
but you still see the occasional person genuflect _after_ receiving
communion (which is in a category of dipping the flag when passing
in review).
What do you dip the flag in?
"Salute", I believe.

I was hoping the answer might be "yogurt".  |

He lifts his foot up? Mind, he's a month older than YoungBloke,
perhaps in a month's time YB will lift his foot when asked! |

Young Nicolai is indeed advanced, but is not yet able to tie his own |
shoes. Modesty forbids the listing of his other advanced abilities.
Monday night his father had to work late, so I took Nicolai to "story
time" at the library. In the after-story play time, I overheard
three sets of parents discussing their children. All three rug rats
are about the same age. It was Stephen Potter stuff in the best
traditions of Oneupsmanship.
"Your Brian is *so* clever in picking that up so early. I was so
afraid that our Kevin would stop doing it months ago because he was
the only one in his age group that was able to. They do sense that it
doesn't pay to stand out too much, you know."
"Wonderful! Cody has managed to fit the cow piece in the puzzle. I
must bring over some of the more difficult puzzles we've had to buy
for Kevin. It's important to keep them challenged at that age."
"I admire your patience. It does give you a chance to become closer
to them when you have to do that for them, but they do catch up, you
know. Frankly, I miss that with Kevin." |
