Hello Teacher,
I am reading A Child's Play - an W. Trevor story. A couple divorced and every weekend the son visited his father. The kid noticed differences in his father.
Below are what the kid described his father after divorced.
'He was more serious. He didn’t spread himself about in the sitting-room the way he used to, his legs stretched awkwardly out so that people fell over them.'
Then after a while, his father got new girlfriend and the kid described him as below:
'A week ago Gerard said his father had reverted to something like his old self, his legs stuck out while he read the newspaper'
Please could someone explain to me what is legs stretched awkwardly out and legs stuck out. How does it looks like. thanks.
