World's biggest idiot xD

To be honest, in real life when I'm talking to children I avoid the first one like the plague. If you're crouching or leaning over them, it gives you an imposing presence that really isn't very good for equal conversation. I try to either be

a) standing further back so I can simply stand normally and talk to them without looming in overhead, or

b) sit down, putting me at eye-level and on a level field with them. Plus I have bad knees and back so kneeling/crouching/bending over is really bad for me anyway. xD
